The put
Skip
Skip the put. The money looks good, but WSO swings more than it pays. Want WSO? Buy shares.
If it goes against you: you buy 100 shares at $280, which after the $365 you keep works out to $276.35 a share. Below $276.35 you are down on the trade. From that day the shares take above is the one that applies.

Why skip
The put: Oct 16, $280 strike, 29 days out. Pays $365. Roughly a 19-in-100 chance you end up buying the shares.
On paper: 16% a year. That number assumes WSO keeps moving like it did the past two years. Take that away and it is -2% a year. That is why we say skip.
Next earnings Oct 28, after this put ends. We never sell a put across a report.
If you already own 100 shares
Income call
For income on WSO you already hold: sell the Oct 16 $330 call and take $182 now. If WSO climbs to $330 by Oct 16, your 100 shares are sold at $330, so only do it if you're happy selling there.
If it climbs past $330 your 100 shares are sold at $330 and you keep the $182. That is the trade working, not a loss.
