Covered-Call Premium Report · Alan Fatal Portfolio

Generated 2026-09-11 01:00 PT · 20 holdings

Premise: Alan owns the underlying and writes covered calls. Engine prioritizes:

IV richness · implied > realized vol means premium-selling has positive edge.
Strike near resistance · best probability of OTM expiry without capping rallies.
Earnings-calendar awareness · avoid writing through earnings unless intended.
Composite long-thesis · keep writing on names the engine still likes long.

Portfolio-level · premium-selling priority

Sorted by IV-rank × IV/RV ratio (premium edge × premium richness).
