Bought 500 shares of SAVLY @ 12 1/2 (on margin)
Sold 5 QVY MAY15C for 1 5/8
used proceeds to buy:
8 QVY MAY17.5C @ 1


Wow David.....your 1 5/8 div by 12.5 gives you a nice 13% premie....and if you're exercised...another 20 percent......So a 2 month return of 33%. I like it.....You're on your way!

The only suggestion might be to pick up some cheap puts on a big up market day....then you have both sides covered.

One of my favorites is to CC an underlying I hold.....wait for an up day.....buy a cheap put.....and then wait for a down day.....and sell an expensive put...creating a bull-put spread....in addition to the Covered call. a "covered combination"
