Eval options chain for covered calls

Enter the stock's

• current price (if you are trying to get into this stock), or
• your adjusted cost-basis (if you already have the stock and are looking to collect premium on it)

Paste the Call options-chain from Yahoo Finance in here and then tab out of the input box:

Notes

• This is inspired by the Holy Ghost.
  • Credit where credit's due.
  • I've found that I'm making the best returns on SWN calls
• I've used this program (in CLI form) since fall 2021, and it's guided me to picking the right stock at the right prices, to get a return of >2% every month. That adds up to a >24% return annually, not counting the effects of compounding.

  How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! - Proverbs 16:16

• I use this by pasting into the textarea the most interesting rows of a call-chain from Yahoo Finance and generally selling options at the strike price that results in the
  • greatest minimum profit whether the options expire or assign, or
  • just above that (if I feel like taking less profit on the chance the stock will rise a lot but I still want to hold it).
• When using this to get into a stock, I generally go for something deeper in-the-money so that I'm protected from a fall in stock-price right off the bat. It's essentially a way to get a discount on the stock, by accepting a higher probability that I'll get assigned and lose the stock (for a profit) at the expiry-date.
• If the covered-call expires, your cost-basis for the stock has gone down, and you'll have to track that using a spreadsheet yourself.
