Thanks Larry. I was hoping I wouldn't be called because INF has run away from where I wanted to use my CBS shares $$$ to buy extra INF at post IPO price. I could have had $22 I think two days ago but I got greedy and didn't buy back my CBS covered calls and then sold the CBS shares to get more INF at $22. Looks like I made a mistake ? Anyway I'm right back in there next week selling covered calls again on my CBS shares, this time Jan $27 1/2 and I want $2 for 'em. I think INF could be also soon trading options and I'd love to sell some INF Jan25s. Anyway I'm now hooked on covered calls. Thanks

Hey Larry: Your right, I didn't get any shares called. Today I could have had $2 for those CBS Jan27 1/2 covered calls but I got greedy and took the Jan30s at 13/16th even though if I was patient I could have gotten $1. Up until recently I didn't think total-households was as important as that younger 18-49 adult group but now I think heck if you can control that many eye-balls (total households) than it can't be all that bad. Thanks PS: I like the way CBS switched to the dramatic end of the Steelers game rather than just end their coverage with game #1. And when they slo-mo'd that late 3rd down Steeler interception the replay showed something the refs didn't see (he was out of bounds !).
