OPENING (IRA): XLU FEBRUARY 19TH 56 SHORT PUT
... for a .56/contract credit.
Notes: Selling premium in XLU, which for some reason has popped to the top of my screener, with 30-day is at 44.3%. This one's a modest yielder (2.942%), so, as usual, fine with taking assignment, getting paid to wait, and selling call against if that happens. 1.0% ROC on capital at max; 8.1% annualized.
