I remember the nickname and it always made me chuckle because I think you meant it as an insult, even though it is really what we all hoped for. Ready or not...

I have a similar strategy with my options. Another big factor is taxes. Depending on your financial situation, selling all of the in-the-money call options at expiration can lead to a large taxable short-term gain. Selling only enough to exercise the rest will postpone part of the taxable gain until you sell the shares that are received from exercising the options. If you plan on holding those shares for a long time (like I do if everything pans out the way we hope) the eventual taxable gain will also be treated as a long term capital gain at a lower rate. Depending on the size of your position, this can be a sizable tax advantage. Food for thought.

Oh and Go Hawks!!
