Jerry,

It is NOT necessary to look up “Greek” stats for covered call writing. However, it is critical to understand the relationship between share value, time decay and volatility as they relate to option premium and risk degree when using this great strategy.

In your system do you look up any of the “Greek” statistics before using an option? I have read that the greeks are important as they relate to option trading. Thanks for everything.

There is also a great article imbedded in the home page of ivolatility.com called “Putting volatility to work” which is very good and touches in more detail on what is included here. The article includes a discussion specific just to covered call writing.

Thanks for all your great work.
