Bob, thanks for the reminder "Never sell a put on a stock that you would not want to own."
But that is not enough, as I learned late in 2008 when C was put to me. It kept dropping and I took a large loss. I'm proud of taking that loss because C is today still under the price I got - 7+ years later.

Hindsight tells me I should have had a sell trigger after being put.

Another error we often see is try to make up for a paper loss with the SAME stock. Why not sell the loser and choose a stock with better TA
