Hi Bob, I like naked put sales as a way of buying stocks I am interested in at below market prices. If I am very bullish, I may use the premium to buy an out of the money call on the same stock at the same time. If you like Oracle, I am surprised you would put in a stop loss at 9.90, instead of using such market volatility as an opportunity to take a second helping. But then again, everybody has their own comfort level and risk tolerance. Zeev Hed, who is a pretty good trader, will often take up to three servings of a stock at successively lower levels before he sets a stop limit order. If this is your biggest laggard and you have a small profit in the position, you are doing very well in a rough market. Sam
