<Okay, so I'm still fuzzy on this whole "put" thing. So by buying July $35 puts, for $5.40, you're betting Intel stock will be <=$29 in July, or at the end of July, or what?> I can "put" (or assign) INTC stock to the writer of the put at any time between now and July 19th and pocket the difference between the market price and $35. So I can make money any time when INTC is under $35 - $5.40 = $29.60. However, as long as there is a put premium left, it is better to sell the put, than to assign it. Kap
