Where can you buy a 1 dollar investment or find a investor that can invest it for you?
You can't. Though you could find penny stocks and invest in a considerable amount of them (minimum a (few) hundred dollars, I would suppose). I would make no sense to buy one share of a $1 stock: a broker would charge between $5-10 for each trade (i.e., each time you buy any number of shares of a particular stock). If you wanted to buy 100 shares of a $1 stock, you'd need to give him at least $105. If you wanted to buy 1 share of a $1 stock, you'd need to give him $6. It would not make any sense.

Selling a naked call. The reason is quite simple: if you sell this thing at $20 and the stock goes to $50, you are going to have to pull out $3000 (puts and calls are in 100-share lots) to buy some stock to satisfy the investor. Naked calls have unlimited risk.
Puts have limited risk. If you look at the investment websites they claim selling puts exposes you to "unlimited risk." Not true. You can only lose the strike price minus the premium; if you sell a put on Acme with a strike price of $10, and the premium (which goes to you) is 50 cents, you can lose $9.50 per share but only if Acme goes out of business. OTOH, if Acme shoots up to $38 per share and stays there, the put won't exercise (because it would be more advantageous to the put's buyer to just put in a sell order with his broker) but you get to keep the premium.
