DON'T BUY

You have to look at Covered Calls and see how they work. E.G. He has a stock at $20 and is going to sell a December $22 Call for $0.50. He brings in $0.50 and he can do anything he wants with it. However, he has entered into an obligation in that if he is Called he has to sell his stocks at $22. In December, if the stock is at $25, he has to sell his at $22. Therefore, in this case, if you are bullish on financials, you do not want to be in a Covered Call situation. In a Bearish or Bullish market that is going up or down, this is not the thing to own.
