Frequently Asked Questions
Are mega caps even worth wheeling? The premium is so low.
Annualized returns on mega caps typically run 8–18% — lower than mid-cap wheels (20–40%) but with dramatically lower drawdown risk. Many large-account wheelers prefer this risk-adjusted profile.
What's the typical capital requirement?
Many of these stocks trade above $200/share, meaning a single CSP can require $20K+ in collateral. To diversify properly across 5–10 names you'd want $100K+.
Why include both growth (NVDA, TSLA) and value (JPM, JNJ) names?
Growth mega caps have higher IV (better premium) but more downside risk. Value mega caps have lower IV but very stable underlyings. Blending them produces a balanced wheel portfolio.
