Could be he is....but that doesn't make him right.
I'm batting .400 with my options picks over time. Not terrible, but not great. I don't go short because the exposure is too great...but I would buy puts in certain situations (still wondering why I didn't last week on ORCL - TOO much faith in Larry).

Selling puts is a great idea...but that can turn into an expensive experiment, too. Still, if I was going to sell puts...and I had the cash...I'd probably go long and buy the stock instead of placing a bet.
