ditto on the other two comments. reason folks are looking into the next month on calls is the volatility of the markets, esp. nasdaq, tech stocks. a few weeks is more easily predictable. moreover, the longer the option, there is a greater chance the stock price will temporarily go higher than the strike price and you could lose your stock even if it closes below the strike price on expiration date. on a shorter term option, there is less risk of a pre-expiration date exercise; folks just sell the option back into the market.
