We can even sell in the money options (by a few dollars). I know a broker in the office that does that routinely.

I think forwarding your readers to the montreal home page http://www.m-x.ca/accueil_en.php will help your readers. It has great examples and offers quotes for all Canadian optionable companies and ETF's plus past history to show how an option price really moves relative to underlying shares (known as Delta). Also www.optionmatters.ca offers some interesting comments on options. One comment on your article. With regards to selling calls your shares can be taken at any time from you ... watchout just before ex. dividend date if the call is 'in the money'. Also if you own calls in the money by more than $0.25 they get exercised automatically for you so make sure you have enough money to buy those shares in your account! DH Nice call..
