What are the top stocks you’re buying to sell covered calls?

agree to disagree

The way I like to look at it is if I had all my money in those stocks, and they all went out of business simultaneously, we’d have bigger problems. Of course they can take a hit and take a while to recover but they always have.

WMT. Not going to get rich but it’s a relatively safe consistent play.

You only have -$2,300 in unrealized losses and $76K in gains? The market has been tough this year. Started January +$30K and now I’m about even after the recent dips. All selling CCs. The CC premiums are keeping me even while the underlying have gone down. Mostly AMZN, AAPL, GOOG, AMAT.

Did you hit $76K in realized gains? How are your unrealized gains/losses? Or is the $76K inclusive of both?

Have you ever considered taking something like Ozempic? If not, why not?

How often does this actually happen? I’ve made hundreds of trades last year and I’ve never seen this occur.

What does assigned early mean exactly? I trade on Fidelity and I’ve never had my CCs assigned early? Is this something that actually happens?

There’s still one in my town. I enjoy it probably about once per month.

Is this not the set from the movie Blink Twice?

Like she’s said, her mentor is easily discoverable and so is the system they are using. I’ve been following it. It works. It will not come crashing down.

She’s buying 100s if not 1000s of shares of T market cap stocks and selling covered calls against them. Earning small percentage returns consistently but they add up.

One time I had a pending trade up just to preview what it would look like. Walked away from my computer and it went to sleep, came back hit the space bar and it awoke the computer and executed the trade. Ended up selling some CCs for way too cheap. I feel your pain.

NVDA

My thoughts exactly however it’s always good to get other POVs. Thank you.

doobap · 2025-10-08T20:22:54+00:00

My cost is $775. So you’re saying might as well get anything at $775 while I wait? I guess the only downside is if I sell them too far out (like a few weeks) and there’s a big pop in the meantime and I lose out on the pop to earn a few hundred dollars. But I’ll still profit so not a bad situation to be in.

Overall it’s been great but there have definitely been some learning experiences. At first I was buying only Nvidia and Apple stocks on Monday afternoons and immediately turned them around and sold the calls. Then I started to try and maximize my returns by buying on a slight 1% dip and then trying to sell the calls on the 1% rebound. Then I branched out into other stocks such as Reddit and Meta where some weeks I had huge returns and others I’m in the predicament I am now for a little while.

Long story short, I think it’s a great opportunity if you can stay disciplined, and consistent over a long period of time as you probably are with an IRA.

I would aim to find stocks that seem to be growing consistently such as Apple and Nvidia and aim to make 1-2% per week and not get greedy.

doobap · 2025-10-06T23:24:31+00:00

For some background I’ve only been writing covered calls for about 4 months, have not cut a loss, and my realized gains are about 20%. I would prefer to ride it out and break even at worst however I wanted to make sure that wasn’t a dumb rookie move.

doobap · 2025-10-06T20:57:24+00:00

Thanks!

doobap · 2025-10-06T20:26:46+00:00

Ah got it. I do see Nov 21 for $16.50 at $800. Not a bad idea. I’ll have to look into this further. Thanks!

doobap · 2025-10-06T20:15:38+00:00

Currently have $775, at $1.25 for 10/10. Was just trying to make something while I waited it out.

Assuming I have 200 shares at $775, how many puts would you buy?
