Annualized return is not neutral across the term: at constant delta a short-dated
contract annualizes far higher simply because a small credit over a few days
extrapolates hugely. Γ risk — the delta change per 1% move — shows
what the short end costs you.

Screening output only — not investment advice.
Quotes are delayed roughly 15 minutes and can be stale; verify everything with your
broker before trading. Selling options carries risk of substantial loss: a
cash-secured put can leave you owning a falling stock, and a covered call caps your
upside. Nothing here accounts for your portfolio, position sizing, or circumstances.
