I like to keep this simple. The "worst case scenario" for a Covered Call is the stock going to $0.00. Call premiums do not offset most downward slides in stocks. I have posted this before. I'm not a fan of Buy-Writes in general of single stock names. You take the time and effort to pick a...

The detail make a difference. I need to know the month and real prices to enter the order and get a pop up. The December spread is almost worthless. You could never sell the 3000/3100 SPX spread for 40 points. As the spread is worth about $0.05, with SPX about 4514, it makes sense to charge the...
