tom..."infinite return" you bring up an important fact, that most fail to grasp. on any sale, be it put or call, your return is "infinite", as their is no cash outlay. a true calculation can't be made against capacity of cash or margin, and to attempt to factor a "loss of opportunity" cost is a bit esoteric, as you are not losing any opportunity as you have the hard cash or collateral invested fully and earning at least +5% good to see strategies being posted that are more in tune to the current market, instead of trying to trade the long side...........it's a short market....best way to "go long" is by "going short"....as in selling versus buying..... so much for the theory of ever buying otm calls..... the market gives, and it usually takes back more then it gives.... cash is king at the moment!
