TigerPaw, the strategy is a mildly bullish one, and works well in choppy markets. It also gives you a small amount of downside protection (the deeper in the money the greater the protection). The trade off is a capped profit which always occurs at the striking price. I try to write covered calls only when the implied volatility is as high or higher than the historic volatility. You can check these at cboe.com You need to be patient. This strategy is conservative, and eventually pays off. Did you do the calculation on your position as I suggested in the post? What were the actual numbers? TTFN, CTC
