First of all, selling a put gives you the same expected return as buying the stock and selling a call, except that you hold the money if you sell the put, and you give up the money if you buy the stock and sell the call. That said, would you buy the stock and sell Jan. 30 calls? You get a low return, but an almost certain one, albeit with some risk that the stock falls below 30.

I do sell puts sometimes. Selling them below the strike price is not a bad stategy in my opinion if you want say, some Intel. Just keep selling them, and sooner or later you may get the stock, which is one you hant to own. Here I think you might want to average down, or else choose a put with higher strike price (so you have more upside potential). But this is just my 2 cents worth.

Good luck,

Carl
