I'm still learning, and one of the things I learned through this downturn is that I shouldn't be selling naked puts or naked calls. That means most of your trades are trades I can't do, at least not as you describe them. I can of course try to alter them to suit my own limitations, but, did I mention I'm a beginner? I'm not likely to make good alterations on my own. There have been times when I've asked you about positions I had, and your response was roughly, "how did you get into such a lame position?" I got into those positions by trying to make adjustments on my own. And I bet I'm not the only such person on this list.

Here's a request.

For some of the trades, please consider listing a variant suitable for beginners, without any naked puts or calls, and pointing out that it's *SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS*.

Here are two examples that may illustrate my point. For both Macy's (M) and ViacomCBS (VIAC) you recommended them at prices that were much higher than they are now. VIAC fell from $50 to $16 (now $18). Macy's fell from $22 to $5.

I'm *guessing* that you might now label VIAC, at $16.50, as good for beginners even though it might not have been good for beginners at $50.  I'm also *guessing* that even now, at $5.50, you might not think Macy's is a good bet for beginners.  Of course, my problem is that I don't know.  That's why I could use your help. 🙂
