Hi Don. Great suggestions. I have already sold a few PUTS on these, but added a few more of your suggested names.

I have been running my PUTs through the Options Play calculator. It's not always perfect in this market, but I have found it to be a decent gauge.

IBM beats on EPS and revenues. Stephanie Link sold some IBM last week. If it dips, she'll buy those shares back, she says on CNBC. Strong dollar a head wind. IBM re-affirms guidance for 2022.

Historically, IBM dips on earnings, then bounces. It's down $5.50 after hours. It usually moves with the markets. Beta .9363.
