Assuming that the writer really is writing for income and not to acquire stock, I'm not sure I quite follow your comment, "This is the market to sell
puts, not calls."

I am writing for income, but also with the "consolation prize" in mind of picking up a great companies stock at a huge discount should it get put to me. If it's a stock that I'm interested in owning for the long term, it's a strategy that is a win-win (as long as the "purchase price" is a reasonable one...I made the mistake in early 2000 of selling puts on stocks that were quite overpriced...I don't think that that is the case now.)
