By concentrating on what my goal was in buying in the first place and mechanically having the process run it's course, I have had the most serene investing experience of my life.

Thank you for taking the time to write up this informative post. The relatively stress-free buy/write approach seems to agree with you. I like it too.

When I start out by deciding that I must not be assigned, I have to accept the nagging worry that I'll have to chase the stock after an inopportune rise. This is because I've imposed a boundary condition my cc strategy, a condition that raises the risk of the loss of capital.

The buy/write strategy completely avoids the forced loss on run-up problem and is sold with the maximum possible at-the-money Time Premium to boot.
