LoF, RE: Hence my near-term bearish (I expect it to go down), and long-term bullish (I want it to get put to me) stance.

I'm amazed that this guy doesn't get it, but I guess he's stuck in a one dimensional train of thought.

Thanks for helping to enlighten the newbie.

You know, I wasn't going to wade into this, but you're starting to mislead people, and that can be dangerous.

Selling naked puts isn't bearish. It isn't bearish near term, it isn't bearish long term. It isn't any more bearish that buying a stock and selling a call, which provides for the exact same return schedule.

If you expect a stock to decline in the near term, selling a put will lose you money. The only exception is in the rare case when the volatility declines by more than can be accounted for by a stock price decline. In this case you would make money more by lucky timing than stock selection.
