RE: sell puts, just be sure you have ample margin capacity that if we really tanked in Sept/Oct you could handle it. Sell one put, perhaps it sets aside whatever, say 10K of margin. But if the stock temporarily takes a nosedive, it may require as much sa 40K of margin to hold it...because the put would suddenly cost beacuoup bucks to buy back. It's as risky as going on margin in its own way, because it sets aside margin and thaqt flcutuates absolutely according to the price of the underlying every day. The difference of course is that you aren't charged margin interest.
