I'm sorry, I wasn't too clear in my message. The following link has some covered call spreadsheets, for calculating the "what if" scenarios. I was getting a message about needing keyview (a viewing/zipping program available at onsale.com), when I tried to download those programs. webbindustries.com I think I have it figured out, though. The programs were in fact downloaded to my computer; I just didn't realize it, because the names of the files were obscure. The files were automatically saved to my netscape "cache" folder (and for some reason I am getting this "keyview could not be found" error message). And to find the template file, I was using the search function using the names of the files given on the linked website. The names of the files are different then what they are called on that website (at least when they get downloaded to my computer). I certainly did not mean to imply you were trying to sell something! Now, I just have to figure out how to use those spreadsheets. There are some cells, in the spreadsheet, whose purpose I'm not sure of. The spreadsheet file which I am referring to is called muiucrvj.xls It is a template for doing the "what if's" on option buys/sells. The cells I really don't understand is under column F. If someone could explain, I would appreciate. I've never used excel before and the template has a lot to it. Is there an instruction sheet which I have missed? Thanks for all your (FREE) help!
