nadir - good word. 8)

about your put sales: is your general strategy just to day/swing trade or do you ride it out to nil/fractions? i have a hard time determining when to close out a winning short put.

about repositioning covered calls: i do that, too. aren't you concerned that the market might rally hard and then you'll get called at a loss.

got any good long-term stock candidates for writing puts?

You have made a giant leap in this option field. We can learn from what you learn from the seminar. Good move in your repositioning your options. Thanks for sharing.

Anybody who does not get a margin call should pat himself/herself on the back.

Best regards,

Paul
