I write articles for Barchart.com and elsewhere about value stocks, especially those that have high free cash flow (FCF). That means that the stocks could be worth significantly more than their present price.

Often I describe shorting put and call options for income. This article will describe three stocks with attractive options plays.

These are almost always with out-of-the-money (OTM). That means that the option strike prices are either below the existing stock price (i.e., for short-put plays), or higher than the stock price (i.e., for covered call option plays).
