Wheel Under $100
Once you have $25K+ to deploy, you can wheel higher-quality names that need more collateral. This list adds large caps like AAPL, AMD, DIS, GOOGL, NKE, SBUX, KO, and MRK to the under-$50 universe. Lower IV than the cheap names, but stronger balance sheets and you'd genuinely be happy to own any of these long-term at the strike.
Selection Criteria
- Trading under $100 per share
- Market cap > $50B (mostly mega caps)
- Tight option spreads, deep weekly liquidity
- Companies with durable franchises and strong balance sheets

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the premiums lower on these names?
Yes, generally. Higher-quality names with $50B+ market caps typically trade at lower implied volatility than small-cap or speculative names. You collect less premium but the underlying is much less likely to gap down.
What's the minimum account size?
Realistically $25K. A single AAPL CSP at the $200 strike ties up $20K. To diversify across multiple names you'd want at least $25K–$50K.
Why not just wheel mega caps exclusively?
Mega caps offer lower IV, which means lower annualized return on the wheel. Many wheelers blend large caps for stability with mid-cap names for premium. This list lets you do both.
