High Premium High Risk
These are the highest-premium names in the options market. We're not screening for safety scores or assignment quality here — we're screening for maximum IV and annualized return potential. Most are real companies (AI, crypto, tech) that happen to carry elevated volatility; two are leveraged ETFs (TQQQ, SOXL) where assignment means owning a decaying instrument. This list is for experienced options sellers who understand the risks, size positions accordingly, and want the fattest premiums the market offers.
Selection Criteria
- Highest implied volatility and annualized premium yield in their category
- Liquid weekly or monthly options with tight bid/ask spreads
- Recognisable names — AI, crypto-adjacent, growth tech, and leveraged ETFs
- No safety score floor — premium is the only filter
- Leveraged ETF tickers (TQQQ, SOXL) are flagged — assignment risk is instrument decay, not company fundamentals
Who This List Is For
Experienced options sellers who want maximum premium and accept higher assignment and volatility risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why no safety score requirement on this list?
This list is built for premium, not safety. The stocks here are volatile — that's exactly why the premiums are so rich. The flip side is that assignment risk is real and these positions need tighter size management than a typical wheel stock.
Why are TQQQ and SOXL on a wheel watchlist?
Leveraged ETFs have enormous IV which translates to massive option premiums. You can sell CSPs on them the same way as any stock. The key difference: if you get assigned, you own a 3x leveraged ETF that decays over time — it's not a buy-and-hold position. Most sellers roll or close before assignment.
How should I size positions on these stocks?
Smaller than you think. High IV means the stock can move 10–20% in a week. A rule of thumb: no single position more than 5% of your account, and keep total exposure to this list under 20%.
