If You bought AMAT on Monday at near the closing price of $51.75 and then immediately wrote a June 55 covered call you would net about $425.00.

My quote shows a bid of 3.30 ($330) but anywho.

If in June you did not get called out (lets say the stock closed at $53/per share) And at that time you immediately wrote the July 55's for at least $425

But what if it goes down to 35 or even lower?

When the July expiration comes around and the stock is still under $55 per share you now have a totally free ride

Huh? Let's say you got all those prices (100 shares $5175 -425 - 425 = 4325) so you've lowered you cost basis to 43.24 a share. Where's the free ride?
