Covered Call Analyzer AGGRESSIVE "STOCKS-TO-CONSIDER"
for July, 2002
NOTE: Our arbitrary get-out price was changed in July, 2002, from -15% to -20% due to volatility and our belief that the markets are going to move up and down a lot day-to-day but trend up for the next few months. We will move it back to -15% in the future.
