Can't afford to have them called. The capital gains tax would be too great for me to bear. I've tried this and have found (for me) that it's not worth the anxiety. If I'm not willing to let the shares go, I don't short the calls. It's more of a "problem" with QCOM since we're "vulnerable" to a major announcement at any time, such as a NOK deal on WCDMA, or a formal Nextel announcement that they are going 1x, or AT&T seeing the light, or a European carrier going 1x or 1xEV. One could also make a reasonable case that the Nasdaq has bottomed, or is close to it (for now) and we'll have a runup to the March Fed meeting. The excellent QCOM analyst meeting presentation is something to think about as well. Just my 2¢.
