Yes, I totally agreee. Also, keep in mind the current stock buy back that they just announced with the last earnings report. They now have authorization to repurchase up to almost 20% of the outstanding shares. I would not want to be short at this time.

Here's some answers to your questions:
(1) I currently just look through the S&P500 stock guide that is published each year. I look for stocks where the book value has increased each of the 10 last years (or as close to that as possible). I then check older guides for that same company to see if it had similar results in previous decades.
(2) I have a spreadsheet where I look at the average price to book valuations, and I then find the standard deviation of this value over many years to determine the the upper and low value trend lines.
(3) I have older copies of the S&P500 stock guides that are published yearly which give me 25 years of historical data.

Yes, I believe it is around 1.5 times book. I like your covered call strategy, especially now with the potential floor in the stock near the +20% of book value level.
