Tip of the week

Pick the stock, then the premium

Before you sell a put, ask one question: would I be happy owning this stock at the breakeven? Your real cost if assigned is the strike minus the premium.

If the honest answer is no, a bigger premium doesn't fix it. It only pays you to take a risk you didn't want.
