Ali, obviously you don't have any clue! If one has a significant capital base (Intel stock or any other great holding) you can make a lot of money by just selling puts. If you know the market and the companies you're selling puts on, you can make a significant amount of additional income. However, this strategy doesn't come without risks - if the stock tanks, you're liable to buy stock at the strike price that you chose to sell the puts.

I'm sure Paul makes a lot of income by selling puts on stocks he knows well.

Doug

Ail - My Little ScrewDriver Buddy !

Re: "How could
you support your family buying Intel stock
and not selling some? "

First, Intel pays me - and other shareholders - a quarterly dividend. It's small but the "multiplying factor" is LARGE .

Second, I trade AMD stock - and have made a great deal of profit on these trades over the years.

Third, I have many RICH UNCLES that keep me well stocked with cash.
