Do buy-write strategies work on Australian equities?

A “covered call” or “buy write” strategy involves selling call options against an investor’s share portfolio to gain extra income. By selling a call, investors earn income in exchange for giving up the right to some upside share price appreciation, if the share prices rise beyond a certain level (these are called ‘premiums’).
