On the Radar - RKT, CNQR, MDVN and WHR

From the Leading Stocks post earlier today, here's a listing of the top 20:

Some notes on the columns.

• Margin is $ requirement for each naked put contract written.
• Premium is the $ received for each naked put contract written.
• Yield = Premium / Margin requirement.
• Probability OTM is the probability the option expires out-of-the-money.
• Expectancy Yield is simply Yield * Probability OTM.

As you can see, multiple rows show #DIV/0! errors.  These are highly-ranked stocks, but the premiums aren't attractive to me.  Generally, I want to collect at least $30/contract sold with at least a 85% probability of expiring OTM for the next monthly option expiry, currently September.  Those that don't make the cut, no need to run the calcs; hence, the lines with errors.

In focus are the 4 stocks offering an Expectancy Yield > 4.0%.  As an example, let's take a closer look at CNQR.
