Howard, another way of looking at this:

If you buy a call and the stock does not go above the strike price you purchased it for, the call expires useless and you lost your money.
If you write a naked put, for instance at a strike of 40, you will receive a certain amount of money for this put but you obligate yourself to purchase the stock at $40 if the stock stays below 40 at time of put expiration.
