If AGQ goes down to 175 next month, and you write another 175 call for 8%

You receive 8% for first month, i.e. 17.20. You paper loss if you sell AGQ for 175 at that time = 175 + 17.20 - 215 = 22.80.
If you hold it, and sell for another 8% on 175 for second month and get 14.00
You income for 2 months is 17.20 + 14.00 = 31.20, which is 14.5% for 2 months.

But if AGQ close above 175 after second month and is called away, your gain is 31.20 + 175 - 215 = - 8.80, You lose money.

So one still need to be bullish on AGQ to write the calls.
