At the moment I have shorted puts on industrial mobile tower and residential REITs: STAG, DLR, CCI, and one triple net: ADC.

NNN options are too cheap to short. Imp vol too low.

I also short puts on merger arbitrage deals like MSFT-ATVI when deal closure uncertainty is high enough to keep BTM put options very expensive ($3.11 for ATVI 65s expiring in 12/2024, $1.99 for ATVI 82.50s expiring 3/2024 after the FTC lost its court case).

This article explains how shorting puts on meme stocks like GME is a classic market inefficiency opportunity: https://medium.com/datadriveninvestor/how-not-to-be-dumb-money-3-0-datadriveninvestor-5277a3637b9
