I have a problem selling also. I sold a large position in AOL at 81 and can kick myself for selling a large position in Sun Microsystems at 126 (62.5). I just bought 4,000 shares of SUNW at 75.75. I hear it is up on Instanet in sympathy with Oracle. So you are not alone. The option game is so upsetting, that I avoid it like the plague. I would rather sell too early and take profits which I am happy with, than not participate in a run to the upside due to selling a call that is In the money.

I trade my IRA and Roth, so there is no tax consequence. I do not trade my cash account too much due to the tax consequences. Have a good evening. Thanks for the good post.
