Jim, I think 4 is the floor and I think 8 is the ceiling. I also think that mgmt is likely to take the money the $500million they are sitting on and buyback more stock. This thing is little more than a closed in fund at this point, except for their ability to buyback their own stock. Closed in funds can't do that. If I'm them I buy back every share I can at less than $6, its a no brainer. I therefore think its likely that the calls you sold get exercised. Caveats: 4 is not the floor if ambulance chasers do something unusual. 8 is not the ceiling if we get a big change in yield curve. Neither seems particularly likely.

Jim:
I used similar strategy to you at year end to book a loss against gains, still hold an "ample" position. Unfortunately my basis is a lot higher than yours:-(
However, I've owned/traded this since '93, and I think the stock, despite it's "runup" from a still low level yesterday, is still an excellent value, and will trade higher.
