"This opens one of the great questions of short puts. One can sell far out puts and get a big real time injection of cash. Alternately, one can do the puts monthly and IMO generate more total income from the same margin allocation"

I can see this is an issue if one is using up most of their margin, but I am mainly selling cash covered puts and get no where near the amount of my margin. With that said, I am trying to figure out how to enhance my strategy in some fashion. One idea is to allocate a long term option against my margin and not carried it in my cash covered calculations.
