Expired Options -SPCE

Since i bought shares of SPCE at $38,i have been writing covered calls for the stock to recover some losses. So far  I have written 3 covered calls and all have expired.
SPCE $58 CALL SELL 2/28 this  netted me $340 as the option expired.
SPCE $43 CALL SELL 4/17 this netted me another $15.
SPCE$35 CALL SELL  5/8 this added  another $43 in premium .

All these calls helped me recover $398  and exactly another $1400 to recover either via stock price or options.
I will keep writing these covered  calls as long as they make sense.

These trades helped me understand options little better and i am looking at writing covered calls for some other positions in my account.

Stay Safe
