George,

I've never written a covered PUT in my life, nor do I intend to start anytime soon.

I prefer naked PUTs which have their own drawbacks especially when the street doesn't share my bullish outlook. :-( And I'd be overjoyed if I was only short 72 contracts in each of my positions except for the one biotech that's currently about $50 out of the money and will expire worthless next month (Nov).

Point was: There is such a thing as a covered PUT. Period. No investment advice to anyone was, or is, intended.

ian.
