Great summary, I'll post it on my monitor until it becomes second nature.

Now could the board try to clarify the use of different expiration dates when selling puts. I can't pick up a common thread other than you all seem to be having a ball...Edamo and LoF appear to use the current month thru Leaps, Jill seems to stay with current to 7 months out, DoK prefers Leaps unless he is using his trading account and then short term dates are OK. PAL & Poet I haven't picked up a pattern.
Are there some basic rules or % return measurements you are using to make your pics. It appears that from a total return basis the current months give the best long term results(5%/month=75%/yr) and keeps your capacity flexible. Do you find yourself trading out of the longer term puts early and capturing those large premiums?
So many questions, just trying to learn from the experts.

TIA
Duncan
