(1.4% return if AAPL expires below $114). If AAPL expires at/above $114 return is 3.5% return for 38 days. The sell puts until you own AAPL again. Rinse and repeat.
That AAPL call could be bought back for .65 today leaving .95 or $95.00 in 9 days. Almost 1% return.
It's not for everyone but informational nonetheless.
