- This one's easy.

- When you buy the 10 contracts, instruct your broker that this is to
- "close out your position". Now you have no option positions in the
- stock. A broker should be watching these transactions, but one can't be
- too careful. When selling covered calls, be sure to say "opening a
- position". Just that simple.
