>> the "worst" possible outcome is when a CC gets called for a huge profit to the buyer.

As I see it, both parties can win in that case, and offer my recent qcom activity as anecdotal evidence. The party who bought my April 60 calls made a huge profit and my stock was called, but I didn't "lose" anything. In fact, I was able to re-establish my long position for less than the strike price just a few days later, and kept the April premium. Given that few stocks will "run away" in today's market, that may not represent an unusual pattern.
