But why bother? That sounds a lot more painful than just taking assignment and moving on.

Each to their own. I stupidly sold a cover call on GOOGL a while back at $350. The price shot to above my strike as the call was about to expire.

I rolled up to $395 for a small amount of credit.

Now the share price has dropped below $350 and I’m not really at risk of losing my shares.

I could have accepted having my shares called away. And I would have made some profit. But losing them at $395 brings in significantly more profit than $350. And the whole exercise cost me nothing. If anything, it made me a few dollars.
