Sowbug, some IRA's do allow selling of what is called cash-protected puts. You don't have to hold the shares but you do have to escrow enough cash to be "put" if the event happens. So to sell a $35 put, you have to escrow $3500. This is better than going long stock, assuming low transaction costs, because you collect interest on your cash, plus the cash you bring in, plus you get the premium.
