Key Criteria for Any Stock on This List

Liquid options market (high open interest, tight bid-ask spreads). Implied volatility high enough to generate meaningful premium (generally 40%+ IV). Stock I’d be comfortable owning if assigned. Identifiable support/resistance levels on the chart.

Important Disclaimer: Stock prices and IV change. What makes a great wheel stock today may not be ideal tomorrow. Always re-evaluate before entering. This is my watchlist, not financial advice.
