Selling puts when you have a volatility spike will allow you to take in more premium for the risk/reward strategy.

By looking at a chart and doing some TA along with the FA you can see if the stock has support or is breaking up or down.


Well, using that theory I sold the Jan. 72.5 BA puts, thinking it was close to the 38% retrace of the Sep-Jan rally and its 50 day ema at 74.58/74.37. Got a decent premium for my wait, however the stock subsequently dropped into the 73's, so we'll see. Either way, BA is volatile enough that I will probably take the assignment since I can get rid of it on any good news announcement.
