BCBob,

<<Selling calls on half of my positions when they price looks extended.>>

This strategy allows you to keep 100% of the downside risk while giving up most of the upside. Depending on dividends (usually not material in the stocks we follow), you also have the risk of early assignment (i.e., just before ex-dividend dates) that might trigger premature gain recognition.

Congratulations and best regards,

David
