Wheel Under $25
These are recognizable, liquid stocks under $25 a share — perfect for new wheelers or smaller accounts that want to run cash-secured puts without tying up $5K+ per contract. Every name here has weekly options and active option markets, and we've excluded small-cap energy, regional banks, and biotech lottery tickets that pump high IV but trade like coin flips.

- Diversified across sectors — fintech, consumer, semis, telecom, travel, mining

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum account size to wheel these stocks?
Most names on this list let you sell a cash-secured put for $1,000–$2,500 in collateral. A $5,000 account can typically run 1–2 wheels at a time on this list.
Why exclude small-cap energy and regional banks?
They tend to show very high implied volatility (juicy premium) but the elevated IV usually reflects single-commodity or balance-sheet risk, not opportunity. We focus on names you'd actually want to own at assignment.
How often is this list updated?
We review the list monthly to remove names that have moved out of range, lost option liquidity, or had material thesis changes.
