I will go through the list (on the weekend) and identify shares that I would be willing to have called away. Interesting process alanrs. Since you are willing to let the stock go, wouldn't you classify this as a variation on Buy/Write? At what strike do you usually end up writing: OTM, ATM, or ITM? Seems to me that at-the-money or ITM strikes are for you since you are willing to be called and ATM is where the time premium money is maximized. --ken/fl
