judy, i am debating exercising some yhoo calls to shares by selling half my yhoo calls. they are deep in the money and still have some premium (feb 240's). I wouldn't mind having yhoo in my long term portfolio and i was wondering if i would avoid some tax gains by exercising some of the calls either now or at expiration, vs. selling all the calls with some premium (about ten points right now) value remaining, and buying shares after i have sold all the calls. may not be too clear, but my concern is about tax gain on the sale of the calls vs. exercising and holding long term.

thanks in advance. your posts are great. thanks for sharing your knowledge.
