The usual debate occurs between writing covered calls
and selling naked puts, so I wanted to inject writing
calls to emphasize that is not what the discussion is.
The example is confusing because, of course, buying calls
is a wholly different strategy than selling naked puts,
which points to the absurdity of the comparison to begin
with. I could have bought 12.5 calls or 15 calls or 17.5
calls (actually I think it was 17.5) with vastly different
outlays - between $2,000 and $250 and resulting in
profit from $4000 to $2000, respectively, given the move
of the stock at that time.
