Covered call writing is the kind of thing brokers would encourage a conservative
investor like myself (as opposed to a trader) to do.  I used to do it years ago
- but quit.  Simply stated - with covered calls - you don't make the upside if
the stock goes through the roof.  You're not protected if the stock crashes.  At
best - it's a strategy that will make you more than "buy and hold" during a
period when a stock you're holding for the long term is going "sideways".  So -
if you're good at picking stocks that are going to go sideways - this may be the
strategy for you <g>.  Robyn
