Mike, Id, and Thread, As you all know, we 've often discussed the importance of carefully selecting the tech stocks on which we write our calls. Many of the companies we consider here are also discussed on other boards: NTAP, SEBL, QCOM, and G&K to name a few, but those forums do not place the same emphasis on the strike-premium-timing issues we consider important to our programs. So IMO, even though we've talked about techniques picking good stocks, practically nothing has been said about when, how, and why to pull the trigger and completely liquidate a position in the context of a covered call writing program (puts too). Please feel free to chew on this issue. --dfl@iamcurious(green).com

Id, If you felt that this topic wasn't germane to this thread, why did you bring it up in the first place? My impression is that the subject I brought up is germane (I'll take your word about the spelling. :) to this folder and that the subject you brought up is different and not germane. Knowing how threads about valuation can become rather extended, I didn't feel it was fair to the members of this thread to run the risk of that happening here. Now that Ethan has posted your questions in the G&K folder and I've responded, I look forward to your reaction over there. --Mike Buckley
