looked into selling puts The best performing stocks I've owned are the result of selling puts, and having them exercised. As you say, keep your margin clean, sell puts only on stocks you really want to own and collect money. So far for me, the stocks only get put to me when a real market disaster hits near option expiration time and you end up buying at a great time. The second important part is to decide now how you are going to pay off the margin that results. There should be a position that you have in mind that you will sell off a month or two tops after the event to clean up the debts. I have naked puts on Intel now, I have too much JDSU common for me to want to take a larger position via options, but puts are a good way to start (Some companies you just want to buy before you miss them, I think JDSU is one that fluxuates enough that you can play games and pick it up eventually). 2¢ TP
