Today my buy/write net debit limit order was executed at a price of $219.30 when 100 shares of Amazon.com Inc. (ticker symbol AMZN) stock was purchased at $229.91 and 1 December 19th, 2025 $222.50 Call option was sold at $10.61 per share.  The potential time value profit if the stock is in-the-money and therefore closed out by assignment on the options expiration date is $3.20 per share [$10.61 Call option premium - ($229.91 stock purchase price - $222.50 strike price)].  The probability that the Calls will be above the $222.50 strike price on the 12/19/2025 options expiration date when this Covered Calls position was established was 69.0%.
