I have sold put leaps in numerous tech stocks where I had the strength of my convictions that the fundamental story of the underlying security was bullish. My preference is out of the money puts. I've been successful over the past three years selling leap puts in EMC, LSI, SEG, and IDTI. There is, nevertheless, great risk of assignment to the seller of puts. I would suggest the risk/reward is much better if you are considering selling AMAT puts, for example, to consider selling the put at a strike price at least 20% below the current price of the stock. You receive a considerable amount for the time premium while enjoying some protection in the event that you are wrong and the stock declines.
