As the title says, it’s focused on the strategies to use both when the option is running in your favour or against you. In the former case you could increase the initial premium, in the latter you limit the loss. Even if the example are dated 2008, they are still valid. You need some basic knowledge of how covered calls work

I feels the content is confusing and sometimes wrong. Feels so bad while reading it.
