A few weeks ago I came up with a plan to buy 5 shares with AMZN on margin, before the stock split, so we have 100 shares to sell covered calls on after June 6, 2022.

I plan to have 100 shares with AAPL stock by July 1, 2022
In an ideal world my portfolio should have then 100 PFE, 100 WBA, 100 DOW, 100 INTC and 100 AAPL stock to sell covered calls on:
