edamo: The problem I have with selling puts to open is that my broker, Fidelity, has a margin requirement for those puts. The amount of margin required varies, but is a minimum of 1,000/contract. If I sell 10 puts, the minimum held in margin is 10,000. Usually, though, the margin is more like 1,250 to 1,500 per contract. I am still capable of obtaining an annual return of 100%, but it seems that you are capable of obtaining a higher return by not having a margin requirement. Where do you trade?
