Depending upon market conditions, I think that selling puts does accomplish several goals (a) generate income and by so doing may decrease the overall volitility of your portfolio. From a psychological point of view I find that I am less likely to bail out of a long term position if there is significant cushion provided by cash provided by selling puts. I tend to sell mass quantities of way out of the money puts for QCOM (in the amounts sold I feel best when the puts are 100 dollars out of the money or more). From a personal point of view given the disproportionate amount of QCOM in my portfolio I feel most comfortable with this approach. IMHO I would probably buy puts when I felt there existed the overwhelming probability of a large macro event from which there would exist no safe harbors. If there was a fundamental, major deterioration in my perception of QCOM I would dump my entire position and ask questions later. At that point buying puts would presumably be utilized for a different reason.
