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.

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.
