Thanks for the comments. It looks like I am going to own GE after tomorrow. It's down under 13 after today's close. I am still okay with it even though my basis will be just over 14. I could roll it out but at this point I think I'll take it and sell covered calls on it. I may even sell some additional puts at the 10 or perhaps 12.50 strike price. I have my IRA accounts at E*Trade. At one time they only allowed covered calls in IRA accounts also. I forget exactly when they changed but it was at least 3 years ago. Hi Blue Bluff…
