Great comments.

And, yes, I prefer the larger downside cushion the long dated calls afford. If someone is able to successfully write 12 monthly calls instead of 1 12-month call, they will earn higher returns. But, for me and my current market view, expecting to write calls successfully twelves times is courting disaster. In order to do so, the stock must repeatedly remain in a fairly narrow window over a period of 3-6 weeks. Writing 12 calls only gives me 12 opportunities to screw up the trade! -gggg-
