I think what Ron is saying is that they are equivalent positions... CC's and short puts (naked).

I don't care what Cramer says ;-), I like 'em (in certain situations and on certain underlying).

OK OK, it could be thought of as a synthetic way of setting up an uncovered (naked) short put. Not the most elegant terminology i guess.

Noone thinks of it that way of course but the profit loss is about the same.

What i'm saying is if you don't sell uncovered puts because they're too risky, then you shouldn't be doing covered calls. At least that was my thinking. And what turned me against covered calls since I'm too cautious for uncovered puts.
