Michael:
Appreciate the idea. However, with my natural long, I'm not looking to
really trade around the position. I believe ENE will continue to be range
bound, but in case it is not, I don't want to forgo 50% of my option premium.
I have price targets of where I would like to lighten up exposure to ENE and
will use calls to implement the stategy. To that regards, I noticed I was
not approved to sell naked calls. I would like that ability in order to
hedge some exposure I have of unexercised vested options. Please look into
that for me.
John.

John -

I was looking at the recent pullback in ENE and thinking it might be an
opportunity to buy back the calls you sold. Of course, you would then be in
a position to sell calls again if the stock makes a bounce. I'm not sure
that ENE @ 75 is the place, but maybe @ 73. Call me if you're interested.
