In regards to Voltaires strategy to always cover half of his shares, if I am to do that, do I cover ATM or OTM (how far OTM)? Does that still apply even as we get into the exciting part of the year(Nov-Jan)?

I have a bunch of CSCO, QCOM and JDSU that I wouldn't mind picking up some extra income off of by covering them. If I do write calls on them, should I just expect to collect my premiums and let them get called and just kept buying back the stock after it gets called.

Is this strategy to generate income and forgo some capital gains and make life less stressful.

Thank you, I appreciate anyones comments.
