On Monday, I sold another call option on some of my HAL shares. I currently own just over 565 shares and will be adding around another 75-100 shares every quarter, so I need to get some of the shares off my hands. I now have 3 open call options on HAL, adding to my previous two that expire in April and July. I'm taking a bit of a gamble having the 3 options open since I only have 184 shares that have hit long-term capital gains treatment already. Although I think it's a risk worth taking since most options aren't executed early and I'll have another 182 shares hit long-term capital gains on June 30, 2013.

Back in the beginning of February I sold a call option for HAL with a strike price of $42 for $1.60. The option expires on July 20th. Based on the sale if the option expired I would have earned $151.97 over about 5 months. This would have been a total...
