<< Selling puts is inherently safer in event of a meltdown. >> Say Dresden bombs out and AMD goes down to 30. If I had put $1000 bucks into AMD at 90, I'd have 1/3rd of my money. If I put $1000 into AMD calls when it was at 90, I'd probably have near $0. If I recieved $1000 in premiums for puts I wrote, (depending which ones) I probably owe several times the initial premium. I don't see how that is inherently safer in a meltdown, but maybe I'm missing out on something big here.
