What if you only had $10,000? In this video, I’m sharing the exact covered call framework I would personally use if I were starting over with a $10,000 account. My goal would be to generate monthly option income, reinvest the premiums, and allow compounding to work over time. Here’s the framework I would follow: • Focus on mid-cap companies with a market cap of at least $2 billion. • Use BarChart as my primary stock screener. • Look for stocks with an IV Rank above 40%. • Focus on covered calls that expire in approximately 3 to 4 weeks so I can potentially repeat the process every month. • Look for a put-to-call ratio between 0.2 and 0.7. I want to avoid stocks where traders are aggressively betting on a decline. • Since I’m starting with only $10,000, I would focus on stocks around $15 or less per share so I can build multiple positions rather than concentrating all my money in one stock. • Because lower-priced stocks can carry additional risk, I would look for companies with multiple revenue streams, government contracts, strategic partnerships, or support from larger companies and industries. • Every month I would evaluate the positions, collect option premium where appropriate, reinvest proceeds, and continue following the same process. • During bearish markets, I would consider adding a collar strategy to help reduce downside risk. My personal goal would be to focus on consistency, risk management, and patience rather than trying to get rich quickly.
