Bob, actually I was wrong. I said >sell the July $21.00 put for $1.43 if you want a good chance to get the stock put to you. Your cost will be $19.57<

the stock is at $20.79 so there is a good chance between now and July it will be >$21 most of the time and the put would NOT be exercised.

If you WANT a put exercised, make the strike outrageously high. But it may be exercised before expiration because of that.

How about the July $22 put for about $1.99?
There the chance of exercise is not so high and you'd keep the $1.99 as a consolation price - or get INTC for $20.01
