I would say a CC strategy is bad. Holding stock is just risky in this situation. The best strategy for this stock right now is probably a bullish call spread, if you believe that the bottom is at 14.

One uncertainty is how they're going to treat the recent acquisition, I believe the revenue will be flat, that means the earning won't be too bad if the acquisition isn't written off this Q.

FWIW

Now is a good time to accumulate for options plays later when/if
volatility and bouyancy is higher. Any long-term calls at attractive prices, say, 20 strike? Buy 2x stock position, let them double, sell half, keep the rest for a strangle. Now is not a good time to just sell cc, premium is too modest.
