Yesterday seemed like as good a day as any to try and sell off some more shares of Halliburton and also close my position in Alcoa. I sold 25 shares of Halliburton, leaving me with just 100 more. I had been debating whether or not to sell those shares or not because they changed the ESPP program and purchases are now made on a quarterly basis rather than semi-annual. This leads to lots of less than 100 shares every quarter which means no covered call capabilities. I might hoard up some more shares in the future and keep some extra handy to take advantage of call writing, but for now I decided to sell off some more shares and diversify into other dividend growth candidates.Read more »

I've been searching through the plan documents but haven't been able to find whether or not I can do this with my ESPP through my employer. I'll know for sure come around the middle of January. If I can sell covered calls then it will be a...
