    Options strategy to return 6.5% annum with low risk.

    You probably want to look into SPY ETF and plan to work with its options. I would recommend against doing this with any individual symbol and stick to the SPY. The options market for SPY is SUPER liquid with penny spreads not an issue getting fills.
