DISCLAIMER: This Stock Breakdown is 100% for entertainment. I'm not recommending these stocks as a purchase.

Think of it like this blog post as seeing the world thru my eyes.
In this article from The Motley Fool - January was pretty wild, and the rest of the year won't necessarily be tame. But even if the major market indices had closed essentially flat for the first month of 2021, you'd be in great shape for the rest of the year if you had picked the right stocks. (source below)

Stock articles can be good research tools ... but ...
Great Stock articles are always written about BUY and HOLD ... I love to take these suggestions and view them through the eye of the Selling Premium investor and see if I can make some money using a Covered Call or Cash Secured Put in the next 30 days. Using the CPT Dashboard and running this stocks through a Covered Call vetting process I can do a 'deeper dive' into my research ... really seeing if these stocks are just 'fluff' or does in fact give us something to work with.

What are the Charts telling us?
A stock's chart tells a story and that story should be one of trading sideways to higher ... were looking for a trend and if were Selling Premium on a stock we purchase, we'd love that stock to be trading in a Up trend

Golden Rules of Covered Call Writing - Avoid Earnings
Selling Premium Golden Rule - Try to AVOID a company's Earnings Report to reduce volatility. A company's earnings report can be its most volatile time and when purchasing a stock to write covered calls we want to avoid that time ... stocks can move +/- 10%.
