In my first month of writing covered calls on stocks that I own I was able to create additional 1% of 'income'. They are all expected to expire at the end of next week.
The calls I wrote were all February 2010 expiration and consisted of
MO $21 strike
DD $34 strike
AA $15 strike
GDXJ $25 strike
NLY $18 strike
MGM $12 strike
MGM $13 strike
As of this writing the only call options that might be executed by the buyer is the GDXJ contracts. We'll see and I will continue to post my results.

I also added WFMI $32 calls for the Feb 10 expiration. They will be exercised as I sold them the day before earnings and WMFI closed today nr $33.70. I made 7% in two days on that one. WOO HOO!!
