Jan, why didn't you just sell the $45 calls? Gary, I would like to get $2 premium for the May 45 puts (sometimes this week). I am thinking about 5 contracts at a time for the puts, or 5 puts and 500 raw shares. I sold 1K shares today. You could get the premium now - whatever the premium is. The put premium goes way down as soon as it is out of the money. Your risk situation is the same, Ibelieve. - If the stock is at $40, you buy it at $45. If it is at $46, you just pocket the premium and you have no stock. For the calls, if stock is at $40, you have the stock and pocket the call premium (which is more generous than the put premium) and if you only paid 1 commission not 3. Greg
