Covered Call Analyzer Aggressive "STOCKS-TO-CONSIDER"     

  for June, 2002                                                                                    Close Window

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.
