Not a bad idea.....I was thinking of just selling some May 10 puts for the $2+premium and if it drops that far and I am assigned at $10, cost basis would really be $8 and I assume I could then write CC's on the stock if it is assigned to me at $10.

Any opinions? How are others playing this?

I understand the below and assume you are talking about selling the put outright as well as the call, without owning the underlying stock, dndn, or do you own the stock?

<<For the aggressive traders willing to accept risk, I like this play this Monday morning, on Dendreon DNDN, which has just received FDA approval for a cancer drug.

Sell a May 17.5 put for $3.80; sell a May 25 call for $3.40. Net premiums 7.20. Profitable at expiration everywhere between 10.30 and 32.20.

Warning: stock is extremely volatile.>>
