How this works
Sell a cash-secured put on a stock you would be willing to own. A lower strike gives more room for the stock to fall, usually in exchange for less premium. A longer expiry pays more in total and less per month, and ties up the cash for longer.
The tag on each stock comes from our 1-month test: sell the 30-delta put 30–45 days out and buy it back at half. Validated = passed (enough trades and years, made money both ways, buying back early turned the cash over faster in at least 75% of years). Mixed results = made money but not consistently enough. Did not work in backtests = lost money one of the two ways. Too little data = not enough trades or years. No data = no options history in our archive.
The best put is named only where we tested it: the 1-month rule on a stock that passed. We also checked whether a stock's own best past shape keeps working; it did not do better on later years than one shape for every stock, so no other put is called best. Under each put table is that stock's own history at the shape you pick.
Below strike at expiry is an option-price model estimate for holding to expiry. It is not a calibrated probability of assignment, and it does not model early assignment or your buyback plan. Assignment can leave you owning 100 shares at the strike. Historical exposure after a buyback plan is shown separately.
