Why dont value investors write more covered calls?

Desert Cat's last two posts exemplifies my response above, people are greedy. That's why they don't do covered calls.

wow I totally forgot about the taxes. I guess it makes sense when you think a stock is approaching IV and you are ready to dump and move on, but yeah, the fact that your money grows tax free is huge.

All you have to do is roll your calls forward before expiration. There's a chance they may get exercised early, but it doesn't happen often.
