Re: Jim, expiring worthless is exactly the idea in writing naked puts. You get to keep the proceeds and you do not have to buy the shares.

With the volatility we've seen in the markets in 1999, it has turned out to be a great year for generating cash by writing puts. You can get very nice premiums for strike prices that are 30%-40% or more below their recent highs. In may instances, it amazes me that people pay the premiums for the puts I write (got $2 yesterday for INTC Dec 60 puts, now asking $1 3/8).
