OT but read on of you are interested in options.

Today the light bulb went on for me!!!!!
I put in a limit order to buy 400 shares of qwst at 89. Then Bob Craig suggested on S.I. that I sell puts instead. I canceled my limit order (which obviously had not yet filled) and instead sold 4 contracts for June 85. I got a total of $1600.
Now:
I dont have the qwst shares that is true.
However, should qwst fall to 85, or post split 42.50 I will be assigned the shares (we are talking about third week in June).
I will have them at less than my limit order.
If that does not happen, I sell again for a higher price for the next month available.
Income
Plus if I buy the shares at all its at a lower price.
So if the stock prices fall, I'm not moaning and groaning.
I like it.
The only problem is if the stock flies...and frankly I dont think anything is flying right now, not on a regular basis anyway...step ahead, step back, etc.
