Investing - Theory, News & General • Downside of selling covered calls

$
0
0
Suppose I hold a stock position currently at a loss and intend to sell it to realize a capital loss. Beyond the risk of additional losses if the stock price declines further, what are the downsides of selling a covered call, particularly if I have no intention of repurchasing the stock?
The obvious downside is that you'll miss whatever the difference is between the call and the price.

I have experienced some worse versions of that, but honestly, nobody would believe them.
