Hi Lin,.. Re:.The rules could be useless if you write the no-memory stocks like CPQ Lin, I don't know what "no-memory stocks" are. Do you mean those without solid fundamentals? Maybe we only sell puts on stocks like IBM, DELL, CSCO and others that have little chance of losing 20% of their value in the short term? Also, I would think Jan would be a good month because Dell reports in Feb. Wouldn't you look for some pre-earnings run up to strip the remaining premium out of the put options? Cheers, Lee

lin luo - What rudedog did was his first sale. I beg your pardon - do you mean my first put sale on DELL this year, or what? What if DELL goes to 35, I am sure he will sell more. Depends on the premium, and why DELL went down. Jan is bad month because DELL reports earning in Feb. Can you justify this statement with changes in put premiums in say jan 1998 or jan 1997? at what strike? Do you know what you are talking about? I'm pretty confused by this post.
