Elmer - re: " For example, why would anyone buy AMD now at 16 1/16 when they can write an April $15 PUT and get 9/16 for it?"

Excellent point.

Along those same lines, I think awhile back you mentioned AMD Jan Year 2000 $5 puts - well, they are now bid at $1/8.

I think I'll sell some of those tomorrow - see if I can get $3/16 or $1/4.

If you sell enough, you can REALLY make it up in volume !

And having to buy AMD at $5 - well - that's "dirt cheap" !

Of course, that may also be the "price of dirt" !
