ild, I have been known to sell puts on cos. I would buy at a lower price. I don't do it often. It is a good strategy but sucks up a lot of cash for margin. And I can usually employ that cash better elsewhere. Also, I would be unlikely to do it on a co. like SFE, which is a zero one situation. There, if I'm going to take the downside risk, I want the unlimited upside potential. I would be a bit more likely to do it on Exodus. A lot more likely to do it on Medtronic or ASA.
