R.E.B., yup I expect a lot of consolidation in that sector and the financial sector (banks/brokerage/insurance) next year.

Thanks for your input here. Selling naked puts does eat into your margin account. It just so happens that the ones you sold are so far out of the money that you may not even notice the difference in your account. Formula is such that selling closer to the money puts requires you use up more margin to make allowance for possible purchase of shares.
