High IV in CAT due to earnings soon. $100 put is trading for $1.15, or 1.15% ROC. This is 7.4% below the current price. We are looking at around $2.16 in premium per day, if not more if the premium gets sucked out faster.
CAT currently has a 2.93% divvy yield as well, if I do happen to get assigned shares. Upon being assigned, I would look to immediately sell calls for more basis reduction.
