I have used cover calls a few times to protect my profits. Covered calls have worked fairly well for me in the past. I sell a call when I consider taking a profit. I use them for stocks I want to hold long term and not swing trade. I never buy a call and I have only bought a few puts over the years. It's really hard to make money off of puts. I haven't fully learned about the Delta and the Vix to understand what is a good price to buy or sell a call. Feel free to email me at richr@cesitservice.com.
