IQ doesn't measure intelligence. "intelligence" isn't something which has ever been satisfactorily defined, never mind measured. Please don't oversimplify the present environment into "intelligence vs. stupidity". The owners of the anti-intellectual brand are plenty smart.
Everybody Else:
the troll wants excuses to declare how masculine it is. other than providing it with the opportunity, what does responding to its posturing accomplish?
it isn't an _opinion_ question whether selling covered calls is worth it. it either IS or ISN'T, based on the numbers (and the individual investor's utility function, of course). you have anything quantitative?
stocks don't move smoothly, and the distribution of movement over same-size intervals is manifestly not normal. unless you knowingly are the owner of a stock which is overvalued (a curious situation) there is considerable real risk which you take on for the small premium of a far-from-money covered call.
