Rose, Nice to see you on the options boards again. They seem to be dying on SI. It's stupid, really, because a short put has exactly the same risk/reward profile as a covered call - there's no logical reason not to allow it if it's secured by cash or what would be marginable securities I agree with your statement except for the last two words. Securities cannot be used because what would you do if they decreased in value (despite what most people believe right now is impossible). You would run into over funding problems if you tried to deposit more funds. I believe that most firms don't allow naked cash secured puts in IRA's because of the administrative work involved. Regards, Ken
