John, RE: <If AMD closes on 4/22 at $75 or below, your option will expire worthless. If AMD were to close at $80, your options would be worth $5 per share; $500 per contract. > True, but if AMD gets back to 75 by the day after earnings there will still be some time value left and I will still be able to sell them, right? Is there an equation for how time value is figured? Thanks, Epinephrine

At least you know how much you can lose. Those that sold puts have an almost unlimited potential for loss. John, Do you have to wait to expiry to cash in or can you do it sooner? ted
