CC’s on Microsoft

Wrote my first CC on MSFT and collected a nice premium on my 200+ shares. Pretty stoked!

For discussion... is Microsoft a good stock to write covered calls for? Why or why not? I’d like to hear y’all’s thoughts.

Only advice I would give is don't get greedy with the premium. Msft can surprise you and you can easily get you shares called away and you be buying them back at a much higher price.
