I'm currently short ARDT, OAK, GCTI, AFM & IMS.T. All are being taken over so a floor price has been established. This strategy has worked well for me this year. Cheers, Mike

When looking at premiums for put sales, how does the time value impact the outcome. Ex. abc is $10. Jan 15 (ditm) is 5 1/8. this is 1/8 time value. Would more time value make it a better play? Need to hear another voice on this. Thanks for an explanation. jj

Okay all you put sellers, let's put our money where our mouths are. Let's hear your picks for January, 2000. I'll lead off. Assuming the market doesn't correct immediately, I'll be writing: TAN (Jan 47.5), PWAV (Jan 55), ANTC (Jan 30), AT (Jan 80) and ERTS (Jan 75). All are conservatively OTM on stocks that are coming back from pullbacks. However, all will be announcing 4Q earnings just before expiration, so probably a good idea to pull the plug a little early if in doubt. Okay, let's hear your ideas for the New Year. Now don't be shy. We're all here to learn from each other. - David
