If you sell calls you might look at he April calls You get better time value at a higher strike price. 40 at 2 1/8, 42.5 at 1 7/16, 45 at 1 per CBOE close today. If the stock goes up and you are called, you make a decent profit. If it doesn't reach the strike price you make some money. If the stock runs away, you hate yourself while going to the bank. I have done that a few times. Currently I will make a great buck on INTC this Friday when it is called at 90, but I'm kicking myself for selling the covered calls. NW
