IS.com.....you wrote <And to enhance your "take" you will have to do a little volatility research, but not much, and try to sell them at a time when volatility is highest, but having only dealt with puts, I would defer to someone else, because I don't know how much premiums expand during climactic times on the upside with calls. > heavens sake YES.......I have not sold a covered call that I didn't look at its volatility. That's much of the stuff covered in some of the 10,000 messages. Trester, McMillan, Angell.....all talk about how important it is to sell the volatility, as well as time premium.. You don't ever sell a CC that has a lower price than its historic volatility would give it. You wait till its fat...then harvest it
