IOC weeklies, Bob. March has been a great month. $2.50 spacing works just fine.

ANR even has 50 cent strikes on the weeklies. Had dabbled with C, which has multiple weeks forward, but a little too pricey here. STX perhaps on a pullback; has 50 cent strikes as well.

FCX weekly premiums are too low for me. BBRY, CLF, WLT too volatile for me to consider weeklies on.

IOC obviously...and also FB has been great using the 25 strike. It has been volatile enough that you can catch a decent premium if you watch.

I've been having weekly success with CHK, IOC and FCX. Just check UNG, gold, copper and USO first thing in the morning and let'er rip.

Bob, I like the TBT weeklies. They carry a premium of roughly 1% per week for an at-the-money strike. And whereas the 10-yr bounces around a lot, I am pretty convinced that the longer term trend is up on yield, which seems to add a certain degree of safety to short puts. The recent yield drop from about 2% to 1.70-1.85% has made TBT more attractive for put selling IMO, at around 60-61.
