Doug,

What Elmer is saying about risk with writing puts is true in the special case of reserving enough cash to cover assignment. For example, if I write ten contracts of AKDMD (Jan 01'120), if I keep 120 grand in cash to cover assignment, I can never be worse off than if I had simply purchased the stock.

The problem with this scenario is who actually does this?

Mike
