Selling Covered Calls on Cisco....Again

With Cisco (CSCO) trading back near its 52 week high, CCI continued with the plan of selling covered calls against a Jan 13 $10 call  position.

Specifically, CCI sold the May $21 calls for a credit of $.48/contract after commissions.   A few scenarios:

•  If the stock does break out over $21 in the next two months the combined leveraged from the gain in the LEAP and the covered calls sales to date will be up approx 40%.
• If the stock stalls out or falls in the next two months, the covered call will yield 2.3% (before leverage) to soften the blow of the any market pullback.
