If it goes against you: you buy 100 shares at $182, which after the $256 you keep works out to $179.94 a share. Below $179.94 you are down on the trade. From that day the shares take above is the one that applies.

The put: Sep 25, $182 strike, 8 days out. Pays $256. Roughly a 30-in-100 chance you end up buying the shares.
On paper: 64% a year. That number assumes QCOM keeps moving like it did the past two years. Take that away and it is +4% a year. That is why we say sell.

Income call
For income on QCOM you already hold: sell the Sep 25 $205 call and take $100 now. If QCOM climbs to $205 by Sep 25, your 100 shares are sold at $205, so only do it if you're happy selling there.
If it climbs past $205 your 100 shares are sold at $205 and you keep the $100. That is the trade working, not a loss.
