I am interested. Thinking about to short 200 shares Yhoo at $155 or so. Checking the options too, Nov 160 calls with $5 premium. Is it worth it to try to write two Nov 160 calls and for the $1K premium?? Jan, Writing the 160 calls is more conservative. I am not sure I like the risk/reward. I never thought YHOO would get this high so what concerns me is why can it not go higher? I was thinking of a boxed position like we did with AMZN. I believe you still are doing this. Maybe a few hundred shares long and a few hundred shares short. Then on a bounce write covered calls and on a pull back write covered puts. Your thoughts? Glenn
