Selling calls after a stock has taken a beating, is not wise. Now if you feel the worse is yet to come then just get rid of the stock, but to sell covered calls on ASND is a mistake...Selling covered calls after a stock has had a big run makes a lot more sense, don't you think? After all, if they take the stock away from you after it has had a big run up, that is OK...no one every died making a profit...however having someone take the stock away from you at a cheap level is a mistake...in addition the premium is low on ASND at this time...if you sell calls when the stock has had a big run up, then the premium is large!!
