what’s the problem? Your shares might get taken but you should be making money on them.

Worst thing is your shares will get called away for 9 bucks, you bought them less then that. You make will make money.

Why would you rather pay money for an option to buy it back, rather than letting it expire worthless? Yeah, I get closing out the position from a risk standpoint if they were OTM, but why are you selling covered calls if you want to buy them back when they are in the money?

wait hold on if it’s 8.99 it’s out of the money and by expiration all that would be left for the most part is the intrinsic value. I was just going along with your scenario. Correct me if I’m wrong.

You made money on the premium of the options you sold. The point of selling covered calls is to make money when a stock isn’t doing well and you want to hold onto it. If they expire in the money you sell your shares for the strike price. You have the safest form of selling an option. Relax.

Long Stock + Short Call = Short Put

Think of it as you basically sold a 9 strike put that expires Feb 3rd. So you are correct that if the stock tanks you’ll take a beating. Your hope is you can sell more calls to lower your basis, but if CVNA really drops there won’t be calls you can sell without the risk of a rally calling your stock away and you locking in a loss.

Are you kidding me? And more importantly are all you people replying smart and caring?? Need I remind you where you are! How dare you come here, post gains and ask how bad you are?! Worst case you lose your shares but at $9 per share. The fact that you sold covered calls to protect your minute investment should get you banned! Let alone showing it off saying you did bad! I was looking for a real regarded play and got some guy complaining he’s down less on his calls he sold then the money he made buying the stock. He’s making money and concerned? Get out of here

Ur not fucked per say, but you’re not going to make any money, even if you “make money” it’s not going to be anything worth actually doing these options. If it goes tits up you’ll miss out on massive gains. If it goes down, you’ll lose slightly less than you would just owning shares, but still not worth while.

If it falls to 6, then you keep your 1600 shares and you keep selling covered calls until you get assigned.

You seem to be confused about what your play is and you're the one who made the fucking play. Keep up the good work.
