The short version
- What is The Margin Doc options scanner?
- A free live desk for selling cash-secured puts and covered calls. Enter a ticker. See whether this is a decent moment to collect premium, scored against rules from The Premium Collector by Haseeb Aslam, MD. Educational only. Not a broker.
- What is a cash-secured put?
- You sell a put and hold cash to buy the stock if assigned. You collect premium up front. The risk is defined: you may own shares at the strike. The scanner helps you see whether the tape agrees with that trade.
- What is a covered call?
- You already own the shares. You sell a call against them and collect premium like rent. If the stock is called away, you sell at the strike. Defined risk. No lottery tickets.
- Who is Haseeb Aslam, MD?
- A teaching attending and hospitalist. He writes hospital medicine field guides, books on physician financial independence, The Premium Collector, Practice by Choice, and You Don’t Have to Choose.
- What is the Practice by Choice planner?
- The doctor’s map to making work optional. Enter a few non-identifying numbers. The math stays on this device. You leave with a freedom number, a timeline, and this year’s order of operations. Educational only.

- A companion to You Don’t Have to Choose. Waist, blood sugar, and cholesterol are three readouts of one system. Enter a few numbers. The plan stays on this device. Educational only. Not medical advice. Do not start, stop, or change medication because of this tool.
- Is this medical or financial advice?
- No. The books, the options scanner, the freedom planner, and the metabolic triad are educational. They are not medical advice, not financial advice, and not a broker. Talk to your own physician and licensed help.
