Covered Call Analyzer AGGRESSIVE "STOCKS-TO-CONSIDER"
The markets took a major hit in July and August. As a result, some of the stocks still held from this list were hit pretty hard. Our objective is to recover from these drops by minimizing losses, even though we may need to suspend our get-out rule and consider lowering the strike price to below our purchase price.
