that seems like a good strategy espacially in tax free accounts. unfortunately i own mpw in a taxable account and if the stock gets called away the tax costs would be prohibitive for a stock i want to hold onto long term. seth klarman interview worth a read: gurufocus.com

EKS, Thanks for the post, and your main things that you look for on this. I actually have delved into this covered call strategy for the first time on part of my position in Intel. I sold the Oct 20 Calls for .19 and bought the stock for 18.10. I am new to this covered call strategy and i dont believe i will do this to often because the positions i take i really believe in but i like the idea for some holdings in core positions while i am also getting a dividend yield and also prefer the big cap liquid names. I am a little uncertain though on the length and placement of writing the calls but have been reading up on it. soo... we will see how this plays out. MM
