<<< I understand your point, but puts are a leveraged instrument. How many people that write puts write only enough that they can afford to be assigned? I doubt very many. Most greedy people write more contracts than they can afford to be put to them, amplifying their downside risk, but their upside reward is always going to be limited.>> CC I realize there is no perfect scenario-I only use (usually) covered puts but if I wanted to buy a stock I have considered going naked but with caution and mucho margin. Anyway--next subject... Instigator
