Make a 3.5% Yield In One Month By Shorting Cash-Secured OTM Palantir Put Options

Last month, I recommended shorting 10% out-of-the-money (OTM) put options in Palantir, Inc. (PLTR) to yield 4.24% over one month. PLTR closed with no assignment to buy shares. A 3.5% yield is possible for a 9.8% one-month OTM short put play.

This was in the October 19, 2025, Barchart article, “How to Make a 4.2% Yield By Shorting Palantir Put Options Over the Next Month.” At the time, PLTR was at $178.15, and I suggested shorting the $160.00 put option expiring Nov. 14 for a $6.78 midpoint premium, or 4.2438% (i.e., $678/$16,000 invested).
