Welcome home, uf! Glad to see you and Nancy made it home in time for cocktails :) I was just looking at the Sept 70's on QCOM, too. The higher premium is very attractive and the 'more time to duck', is too... dK~

UF and BB Put in an order to sell the Q Sept 75s for 2.15 got filled at 2.25 within minutes. Hope I didn't jump the gun. That's the stress part about CCs.

I sold just otm calls on all all 8 of my positions this morning. Figured that as long I was no longer a virgin, I would try all positions. I did it because I think they are not going much higher in the next 60 days, and, if they do, they will fall back and I can get them back. All in my IRA, of course. Got enough premium to pay my expenses for next year. It will be very interesting to see how it plays out between now and Sep 22nd.
