Covered Calls

An SI Board Since May 1998

Introduction Compact

I propose using this subject area to collectively look for potential covered call plays. There is one other forum devoted to covered calls on SI but it does not seem to be useful as a source of ideas and to look for potential plays.

I have two basic criteria when looking for a covered call play.

1. Good return..high premium.
2. Solid stock

Are there others out there that would like to exchange ideas and provide tips on current plays using these criteria? If so, let's make this our forum to do just that. I look forward to hearing from you.
