Just my 2 cents on PUTs vs. CC....

I find the CC locks me in.... if stock goes up I have to wait 'til expiration to get out.... if it drops, I have both the stock and CC to deal with for repair. For PUTs, if the stock rises, I can lock in my profits whenever I want.... if it tanks, I can get exercised at a good price and do CC's... OR... I can roll the PUT out and down and sometimes get more premium. Even though the graphs are the same, I find the PUTs to be far superior to the CC's as my base strategy.
