?How the Long Term section works
This section is a value lens for options sellers — it ranks the optionable universe by business quality so you can pick sound underlyings for wheels, cash-secured puts, and LEAPS. It is not a buy-and-hold screener; it answers "is this a company I'm comfortable being assigned / holding while I sell premium?"
Quality Score (0–100)
A transparent blend of four things from each company's fundamentals: profitability (net/operating margin, ROA), balance-sheet safety (debt/equity, current ratio, interest coverage), valuation (rewards a reasonable P/E, penalizes both nosebleed and distressed value-trap lows), growth (revenue & EPS YoY), and payout safety (dividend coverage — dividend payers only). Read it as: 80+ high quality, 65–79 solid, 50–64 mixed, <50 weak.
| Block | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Profitability | 30 | Net margin (12), ROA (10), Operating margin (8) |
| Balance-sheet safety | 24 | Debt/equity (10), Current ratio (7), Interest coverage (7) |
| Valuation | 16 | P/E band — rewards 10–25, penalises nosebleed >50 or value-trap <4 |
| Growth | 16 | Revenue YoY (8), EPS YoY (8) |
| Payout safety | 10 | Payout ratio — dividend payers only; non-payers skip this block |
Weights are rescaled over available data — partial fundamentals still yield a valid 0–100 score, just with fewer inputs.
How to use it
- Tap a Starter Basket (e.g. Dividend Safety, Cheap Quality) or set the score/sector filters to narrow the list.
- Open a name to see its detail page — the metrics plus a Long-Term Suitability checklist giving a quick pass/warn/fail verdict.
- Add to watchlist in one click, then go sell premium / build a LEAPS position from the options view.
Dividend Calendar
Upcoming ex-dividend dates across the same universe. If you're short in-the-money covered calls, the day before ex-dividend carries elevated early-assignment risk — use the calendar to spot those dates on your positions.
