I worked supporting IT for a few trading desks on Wall St. in the 90's, you will lose this game if you are asking this question on a general discussion firearms forum.

If you own the stock, why would you write calls against it unless you were expecting it to fall?
If you were expecting it to fall, why didn't you just sell it? Or buy puts to hedge?I guess writing calls on something you expect to fall in price is a hedge too. |

When I wrote the call, the stock was 10% out of the money for the call option. JNJ is a pretty sleepy stock and 5% is a big move for this stock in a week. 
I told myself when I wrote the call that i'd have no issues if it was called away @ $65. I'd still make over $1100 on a $5400 investment. (shrugs) I just wasn't expecting it to take off the millisecond after I wrote the call. LOL |

'The house' just collects commissions. You trade against a counter party. And gambling? Life is gambling. If you had to bet on the odds life gives you, you wouldn't take it. |
