    Bought to close covered calls on $KORS, 25% lower than what I sold them for 2 weeks ago. $1.75 ---> $1.30. http://seekingalpha.com/s/9gxip

    • parrothead1972: New to the call/puts..etc. So are you then bullish or bearish on $KORS?

    • Ocean Man: Bullish. I hold shares, then I sell out of the money calls on rips and buy them back cheaper on dips.

    • Dr. Kris: Covered calls is a good incoming generating strategy for retirement accounts, FIW. Channeling stocks make good covered call candidates.

    • Vertical Spread: I have a whole portfolio of stocks I have done this too. They continued to drop and still not recovered, i.e. $PBI

    • Dr. Kris: Which is one reason I like writing covered calls in up markets. Selling a call will lower your cost basis but if the stock keeps dropping...

    • Dr. Kris: ...I'd advise buying back the call and selling the stock. Just because you have a covered call doesn't mean you give up on trade management.
