What Is Premium Harvesting?

Premium Harvesting is the strategy of collecting consistent weekly income by selling options — not by predicting big market moves, but by using structure and discipline.

Why Premium Harvesting Works

Most traders try to predict which direction a stock will go — up or down — and often get it wrong. Premium harvesting flips that mindset. Instead of predicting, you sell options and get paid up front, using volatility and time decay to your advantage. It’s a low-risk, repeatable way to generate income from stocks you believe in.

The WhaleWatch Approach

We track large institutional trades — the "whales" — to see where big money is creating volatility. Then we harvest the premium left in their wake by selling puts and calls in safe, strategic zones. We’re not chasing the splash; we’re collecting what rises to the surface.

Harvest-Ready Stocks

We focus on highly liquid, option-rich megacap stocks that whales frequently target. These are ideal for low-risk premium harvesting:

  • AAPL – Apple
  • NVDA – Nvidia
  • MSFT – Microsoft
  • KO – Coca-Cola
  • MCD – McDonald's
  • JNJ – Johnson & Johnson
  • XOM – Exxon Mobil
  • ABBV – AbbVie
