David, tx for posting that.

naked calls on equities can be very dangerous.. while I will do naked calls on indices, I won't on equities because stocks can gap up significantly.
and, as you discovered, selling too far OTM can be detrimental as well. this goes for puts as well.

i think the posters on this board are honest about their previous posts (good or bad). I would have liked to have heard more traffic on the puts thread, as it was very quiet during the Feb2Mar downturn.
however, I believe those that initiated positions for the 'right' reasons and held on, did fine thru the downturn.
not having a plan and panicking thru the downturns can be detrimental.
