Did you read the post? Do you understand the meaning of "near-term"? I'm sorry if this vocabulary is difficult. Also, before you reply, you may want to brush up on the context of the post that you cited: Message 12733665 I say it is near-term bearish, because in the context, you sell puts for the express purpose of having the stock put to you when it goes down. You expect it to go down, and therefore you are near-term bearish. True, selling puts and not having the stock put to you is a very bullish strategy, but that's not the context of the argument I was making in these posts. I would be a seller of CSCO puts today, because I expect it to tank after earnings (ie. I am near-term bearish), and I want to have the stock put to me at lower levels (meaning that I am longer-term bullish). You're probably selling the puts, because you just want to collect the premium and don't expect the stock to be put to you (bullish all around). I can see how you'd be confused if you didn't bother to follow the thread of discussion leading up to that post. I hope this corrects your misunderstanding. I certainly do not want my reputation unduly disparaged any further. LoF
