Jean, the comment about giving away nine months of premium was referring to the idea of exercising an option nine months before it expires. You could do that, but you'd be giving nine months of premium away. You could, of course, sell the option and then do whatever with the proceeds (like buy more options with later expiries and a higher strike). In that case, you could certainly sell somebody else your premium. Again, the idea of exercising applies if you get your calls into the money by expiry, and want to hold common and delay a taxable event. HTH, Greg
