Yes if the stock craters on some news way past your short put strike. I'm talking about $40 to $24 or less with you getting assigned in the 30s. Like PTON. Do it on stocks you like, preferably at the cost you would like to pay for 100shares, and wouldn't mind holding for long periods to recover the cost if you have to.
