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
