are you looking at Dole PLC at all?

I think that I am now ready to unashamedly emulate your approach for a few weeks by putting some capital at risk in play. I could perhaps drift that approach a few months down the line by adding a catalyst/event layer to the equation. This is possibly and edge that could improve the risk/reward ratios.
Can you enable private messaging for us to liaise directly on this matter?

In my last post, I reported a 7% gain in three weeks. Assume I did it in a month and annualize 7% monthly. That's about 125% annualized.

are you looking at LCID by way of example.
it may fit your criterium, but the $20 Friday put only pays 5cts.
How can you make 60% YTD with such meagre returns and no leverage?

4) No margin; if necessary I can take assignment of the underlying should the puts expire in the money.

it is an interesting approach if I understood it well:
1) it's all about asset selection: you only focus on equities that you believe have a good immediate growth potential
2) IV needs to be above x%
3) Strike needs to be below the weeks average trading range

Am I missing something?

If you sell a put Monday w/ Friday expiration, you want a strike below the ATR of the underlying for the last five days.

and how far OTM are your puts again?

MNDY and UPST

Very impressive return - can you mention a couple of tickers that worked for previously by way of example?
