I think it is best to look at several factors: - stock that you are neutral/bullish. - relatively large market cap, so the stock is not easily manipulated. - relatively liquid options, i.e. small bid-ask spread. - reasonably prices, i.e. somewhat elevated implied volatility. Other factors to keep in mind: - are you selling ITM or OTM calls? - how far are the calls? I like to do some analysis using a simple spreadsheet. For example, I like AMD right now. My spreadsheet looks like this. Selling a call at $80 or $82.5 seems the best options.
