Frequently Asked Questions
Why is $25–$50 a good range for the wheel?
Stocks in this band require $2,500–$5,000 in collateral per cash-secured put — enough to diversify across multiple positions in a typical retail account without overconcentrating any single name.
How is this different from the Under $25 list?
The two lists are mutually exclusive by design. Under $25 covers the $10–$25 range; this list covers $25–$50. A stock only ever appears in one tier, so there's no duplicate exposure when combining lists.
