Although there will be volatility this Friday, option expiration day, fortunately it is not triple wicthing day which occurs in Jan, Apr, Jun and Dec. Selling puts allows for a remedial action like rolling to further months. So, even if the put is in the money, you can just roll it to June or July or Oct on a lower strike price.

You are right that there is a tendency for the stock close around a strike price on option expiration day. Nobody wants to confirm that there are forces influencing that, yet it is suspect.

Good Luck investing

Paul
