Agreed, some gain is always better than none or a loss.

However, you could sell AMAT APR 45s for about 2.75; and continue to take this amount of premium every month or 2 forever. Between now and Jan, 03, you could collect that premium about 10 times with reasonable risk or 20 times if aggressive.

Why write a LEAP PUT contract and only take the premium once?
