"For every $100 over the strike price, they are looking at a $680 million loss"

A virtual loss??!!

If I own a stock which cost me $10 and it's now at $30 and I write a call on it at $32, and pocket $3, and it goes to $100 - do I have a loss of $100-$32?

Or am I happy with my profit of $32-$10 + $3. And content to let the buyer have his profit too. What's gone is gone.

A little sleight of hand in your quote I think!
