So you had elon at 35 now suddenly its 25. So you say, okay, I'll buy-write at 25, it's percentage income I'm after and that remains good. But then that month, it RECOVERS and you get called out at 25. Now all you have is 25.

Wouldn't that problem not arise if you buy-write right away? If you buy at 35 and write at or near that right away, if it goes to 25 you pocket the premium and write again the next month, though for a lower premium. I agree that if you buy at 35 and it drops substantially, then you write, you are at risk of having it called at a much lower price, and you have a net loss. So the strategy should be to buy-write at the same time. Right?
