Jim, I would image selling puts raises less questions with the SEC than buying calls or puts. A company could raise lots of cash and manipulation would probably be hard to prove. How ethical is big business or a particular company? Your milage may vary I suspect. How ethical have the tobacco co's been? How ethical have the miners and farmers and ranchers and how about corporate welfare? In '94 the bill for social welfare programs including AFDC, food stamps, housing assistance and child nutrition was $37 Billion. Corporate welfare was $167 billion the same year. Gallo wine family gave Dole and the other pacs $1.3 million and got a $104 million inheritance tax break. Sounds like a good premium... would that be a put/call bought or sold?

Diogenes or Antisthenes?
