Dan,

As far as I know, you sell covered puts when you short the stock. Otherwise, you sell naked puts.

Here is the list of my naked puts now:
AMD Apr 65
AMD Jul 55 :~)
AMD Jul 70 :~(
RFMD Apr 120 :~(
RFMD Jul 70 :~)
VTSS Apr 90 :~(
VTSS Jul 60 :~)
CS Apr 32.5 :~((
MSTR Apr 75 :~(((

The net performance of my naked puts is aweful. They tie up my cash at this moment for hunting for bargain basement:~(

panic

Re: "I have a technical question: is there any way to sell a "covered" put? (other than having the cash to buy the shares sitting in an account) In other words, is there any difference between selling a put and being short puts? Is there an investment configuration that results in a "covered put" in the sense that one can sell a "covered call?"

I believe sell puts against a short position in the equity is considered a "covered put".
