<<You're right that the optimum time for both writing calls and buying puts is at the peak price of a stock. If you are a great market timer, that is certainly the way to go. >>

I write calls when I think the stock price may not go much higher and may even fall. I make no pretense that I can call a top. Occasionally that is what happens but I realize that I am lucky and not skilled when it happens. I am just referring to the fact that the same instinct that would move me to sell calls should make me consider buying puts.
