There's no question I'll be selling puts on Friday. I think it is reasonable to pick a stock that's flat or slightly rising - go with the options you're willing to take the shares, if necessary, at the discounted price (worst case) and when you hit your target %, go ahead and close it early.

THAT much I've got - that takes the risk down to as literally as low as you can go. It's just problematic to find one to play every week (and maybe that's too optimistic) and stay liquid enough to absorb the occasional loss.
