### Comment:
If you are writing a covered call and it gets excercised you are making a profit.   
  
 You collect a premium from selling the call, and hopefully you wrote the call for a strike that you would be comfortable selling the stock at.   
  
 So you are paid both for writing the option and the sale of the stock should your contract be exercised.

### REPLY:
As long as you don't count what you could of sold it at as a loss. I sold some calls for like 5 cents with a $3.50 strike, price of the stock went from like 2.95 to 3.93. so I lost 38 cents a share from what I could have sold them at. But then again I sold calls on those shares like 10 times....
