hi,

I use covered calls almost exclusively. use them to hedge against stocks that show technical indicators that indicate that they may be real movers. I generally sell calls in the money or at the money and buy to close when I reach the break even point.

I have been dong this for about 4 months and so far I am a little ahead. I made good money on aapl and lost on ctic. However ctic fell almost 50% overnight my covered calls let me get out with about a 20% loss I wasn't happy but this strategy helped limit my loss.
