Hi Kirk, Having a pile of cash after a big dip, is sure more fun than having a pile of margin. Thank You for the excellent example you have been for me. I have sold June, July, September, December and January 2023 KMI 15,16 and a few 17 puts. If assigned they'll all yield 7% plus. I have also experimented with May XRX 15's and 16's and May INTC 42.50's. INTC is going back to 2017 prices when the dividend was only $1.10 vs today's $1.46. Both out of favor stocks that still pay a fairly large dividend. May they go sideways for years. <smile> In time decay I trust! Bob
