My short term plan to deploy 50k

I’ve been waiting for relatively “stable” market conditions to buy stuff with 50k that’s been waiting around after I sold everything I was in a few weeks ago. That’s probably not gonna be a thing for a while.

So I figured instead of buying shares, I’d sell puts on stuff I’d be happy to take the ride with if I get assigned, and until then, keep rolling out of the money puts.

These are the ones I’m strongly considering:

XLE $58

PM $152.5

C $110

IBKR $64

HOOD $62

The plan is to generate an average of $320 a week on those, which works out to 0.64% a week. That annualizes to 39.3%.

For you guys who feel like staying in cash without getting left out of the action, something to consider perhaps.
