Dog - You seem to be a long time holder of CPQ (which I intend to be) and I value your opinion.

I assume you do not want to lose ownership of your stock (partly because we are looking for long term appreciation and partly because the capital gains would hurt if you have held for some time).

My question is this: What is your philosophy for how to live (extract cash) out of your portfolio? I am thinking that the way to do it is with monthly covered calls at some reasonably safe level (like two strike points up). Do you think this is a good idea or do you just sell after x% return on a buy?
