When this trade makes sense

Use when

  • ✓You already own 100+ shares of the stock
  • ✓You'd be fine selling at the strike price
  • ✓You think the stock goes flat or slightly up
  • ✓IV rank is elevated — premiums are rich

Avoid when

  • ✕You think the stock is about to rip higher
  • ✕You're attached to the shares (tax, conviction)
  • ✕Earnings are inside the expiration window
  • ✕Premiums are unusually low — nothing to collect
