What about If a stock has stayed below your CSP strike price and you only have a small amount of credit left. Do you wait for expiration, or do you roll out for a credit/ or do you close for a profit? It seems risky to wait for expiration for a small remaining credit.

How much below the strike price? If there is profit it would have to be within the discount of the premium I received.If that's the case I would take profit and close and move on to the next trade. I just had that happen with $LUMN

That’s a good point. When a trade has done well, I ask myself if there’s better opportunities, or should I roll out for more credit. I kept rolling out my NEM trade until I took all my risk off the table and kept letting the rest ride.

Do you hold any stocks long-term for covered calls and dividends? Or do you treat everything as a swing trader?

Good play on $NEM,,,If I'm assigned to stock I'll hold I'll hold the stock for capital appreciation and sell CC's to generate icome and reduce my cost basis
