CLYM snapshot

As of November 13, 2026, spot at $10.36, ATM IV 106.10%, IV rank 10.59%, expected move 30.42%. The cash-secured put on CLYM below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this cash-secured put structure on CLYM specifically: CLYM IV at 106.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which means a premium-selling CLYM cash-secured put collects less credit per unit of strike-width risk, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 30.42% (roughly $3.15 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CLYM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CLYM should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.36 per share and to the trader's directional view on CLYM stock.

CLYM cash-secured put setup

The CLYM cash-secured put below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CLYM at $10.36 on that close, the first option leg uses a $10.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CLYM chain at a 35-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 CLYM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use cash-secured put on CLYM

Cash-secured puts on CLYM earn premium while a trader waits to acquire CLYM stock at a target strike below the current quote; most attractive when IV is rich and the trader is comfortable owning CLYM.

CLYM thesis for this cash-secured put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CLYM extends from approximately $7.21 on the downside to $13.51 on the upside. A CLYM cash-secured put lets a trader earn premium while waiting to acquire CLYM at the strike price; the strategy is most attractive when the trader is comfortable holding the underlying at that level and IV is rich enough to compensate for the assignment risk. Current CLYM IV rank near 10.59% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on CLYM at 106.10%. As a Healthcare name, CLYM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CLYM-specific events.

CLYM cash-secured put positions are structurally neutral to slightly bullish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. CLYM positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CLYM alongside the broader basket even when CLYM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Short-premium structures like a cash-secured put on CLYM carry tail risk when realized volatility exceeds the implied move; review historical CLYM earnings reactions and macro stress periods before sizing. Always rebuild the position from current CLYM chain quotes before placing a trade.
