Default Re: Why dont value investors write more covered calls?

I would probably consider myself more of a TECHNICAL trader on a shorter term basis.....and a VALUE based/FA /bargain hunter stlyed investor over a longer time frame.

I have always preferred to WRITE covered options against my positions...as I would always rather receive these premiums vs. paying insurance in most cases if I am inclined to hedge a certain position

During certain market conditions however(e.g.flat vs. extremely volatile).....there are some obvious exceptions due to the expansion/spread of premium prices
