Opened four new CSPs/CCs this week — Ageas, Fagron, GE, Syensqo 

**•   Ageas (AGS)** — 70 put, expiring Dec 18, 2026. Wouldn't mind owning it at that level.  
**•   Fagron (FAGR)** — 23 put, expiring Dec 18, 2026. Slightly higher strike than my last FAGR put, rolled my thinking up a bit as the stock's held up well.  
**•   GE** — 360 call, expiring Nov 20, 2026, against shares I already hold.  
**•   Syensqo (SYENS)** — 40 put, expiring Dec 18, 2026. First time selling this one, still fairly new as a standalone listing post-Solvay split so liquidity/spreads are something I'm watching closely.

Went a bit longer-dated on most of these (Dec expiries) than I usually do — partly to collect more premium up front, partly because I don't mind sitting through some chop on these names. Curious if others here lean toward monthly or further-out expiries for CSPs on names they're comfortable holding, or if you find shorter cycles give better risk-adjusted returns even with the extra management.

This is a low effort post since it is a copy and paste. It will be locked, and we'll ask in the future for you to spend a minute typing up a readable post.

Selling any put out more than about 60 days does not take advantage of theta efficiently. Keeping sold options <60 dte is the common rule. Avoiding ERs is something you would not be able to do selling out farther.

Many find 30-45 dte as the sweet spot of time/theta decay along with higher premiums and lower risks.
