Yes, you can sell puts in an IRA if you have the cash to cover the stock if it gets put to you. However, you must have a broker that allows you to do this in your IRA (not many do). Do you prefer selling cc's on exercised puts rather than immediately selling the underlying and selling more puts? I guess you could go either way (difference between the two is mostly commissions, interest on cash/margin). One of the only disadvantages to selling puts vs. buying and holding a stock (and writing cc's for short-term gains) is that the gain is always short-term capital gain. This is why it's good to do in an IRA. Thoughts? Mr. Aloha
