The put
Skip
Skip the put. The money looks good, but AXP swings more than it pays. Want AXP? Buy shares.
If it goes against you: you buy 100 shares at $310, which after the $692 you keep works out to $303.08 a share. Below $303.08 you are down on the trade. From that day the shares take above is the one that applies.

Why skip
The put: Oct 16, $310 strike, 29 days out. Pays $692. Roughly a 42-in-100 chance you end up buying the shares.
On paper: 28% a year. That number assumes AXP keeps moving like it did the past two years. Take that away and it is -4% a year. That is why we say skip.
Next earnings Oct 23, after this put ends. We never sell a put across a report.
If you already own 100 shares
Income call
For income on AXP you already hold: sell the Oct 16 $340 call and take $116 now. If AXP climbs to $340 by Oct 16, your 100 shares are sold at $340, so only do it if you're happy selling there.
If it climbs past $340 your 100 shares are sold at $340 and you keep the $116. That is the trade working, not a loss.
