One thing I've noticed about McMillan as opposed to most of our strategies with covered calls is that he advocates selling calls with much further out time horizons, while most of us who've posted are selling them for the current or following month. Any opinions on this? Further out carries much larger time premiums, and can lock your position up longer, but seems a safer play if you're disciplined with price targets at which you would close your position. Also, in this highly fluctuating market, it seems a better bet that you could cover your position at less of a loss if a stock runs away from you in the short term.
