Covered Calls can be a MAJOR trap...

Many ppl use them to close out if a position.
If you wanna exit, just sell the shares.
Can’t tell you how many ppl I have seen that wanna sell their over valued shares so they get greedy to sell CCs to pick up peanuts in premium.
Meanwhile the shares fall 40% and they hold the bag down...
Just sell your shares.
Don’t complicate it.
