iShares Russell 2000 ETF
Selling a cash-secured put on iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) means getting paid premium to set the price you'd buy the stock — while you wait. Set aside the strike × 100 per contract as collateral, and if IWM stays above your strike the put expires worthless and you keep the premium.
