Ethan,

The fact is, I can enter into a transaction today where I pay $10...

You're right. However, the flaw in your thesis is that you are applying it to two transactions, not one.

From a practical point (to HELL with nitpickers! :), consolidating the first two transactions into one net transaction makes perfect sense but only in the case of the buy/write tactic. Maybe I missed something, but I thought the discussion was trying to arrive at one calculation that applied to all covered calls regardless of when the stock was purchased.
