TRCM, I said it is a conservative options strategy if you are selling out-of-the-money puts. In my example if you sell 3/00 35's and the stock is at $37 and you get a $2 premium, the stock has to drop almost 11% from an already depressed level before you get hurt. That is why I say it is a conservative options strategy (you already have a running head start with the 11% cushion). The other caveat I said was that you have to feel that the stock is closer to a bottom than a top. Talk to edamo and rudedog, they are the experts. :o) Drew
