A stock option strategy in which an investor sells a call on shares that are either currently owned (covered call) or not yet owned (naked call). The two types of short calls carry different risks. For a naked call, the breakeven point is the premium received plus the strike price. For a covered call, the breakeven point is the strike price minus the premium.
