Mike, Id, and Thread,

As you all know, we 've often discussed the importance of carefully selecting the tech stocks on which we write our calls. Many of the companies we consider here are also discussed on other boards: NTAP, SEBL, QCOM, and G&K to name a few, but those forums do not place the same emphasis on the strike-premium-timing issues we consider important to our programs.

So IMO, even though we've talked about techniques picking good stocks, practically nothing has been said about when, how, and why to pull the trigger and completely liquidate a position in the context of a covered call writing program (puts too). Please feel free to chew on this issue.
