That being said, while I have sold more puts than calls, I have lately dabbled in selling ~30 day covered calls on TSLA. I sold a call last week and then exited it for a profit when the opportunity arose, then sold another out-of-the-money call today. I'm guessing that the share price won't rocket up during the coming month. If it does and the call gets exercised, I'll still make a profit on selling the underlying shares plus option premium, but the profit will obviously be capped. There is certainly an element of gambling in this, but it's only with a fraction of my holdings, most of which I've been keeping for the long term.
