It's been a long time since I dealt with calls, but in my recollection the shortest call you could write (create) was six months. There are also, nine month, one year and longer calls as well with larger premiums and correspondingly greater risk. Of course if you go out to buy existing calls, the period remaining on the call could be as little as one day. I was talking about someone creating the call and getting the original premium for writing the call. I'm sure there are other ways to get the same effect and there are others on this thread who know much more about this subject. Good luck. Burt
