OT GV, okay, fair enough. But if you do get called early, worse case you get to keep the time premium, right?

Consider writing deep ITM covered calls, expiring 2+ years out. Say MSFT Jan 22.5 2007 (currently at $8). The time premium is 22.5+8-28 = $2.5.

If you don't get called, you get $3 dividend. How is it not better than regular covered calls? Or, is the $3 drop in stock price after the dividend is paid out is accounted for in the premium of the option price?

Regards,
Amy J
