But what month did you buy. In my case, I bought them far enough out that they should not have lost time premium. Now, I can understand if they were March's, 1/4 of the time would have elapsed. Actually, I think options still provide an excellent way to leverage profits. This issue with the Intu puts is pretty extreme, usually I think options can be a great way to make money if you are on the right side of the trade and you do not buy too far out.

Selling naked is the best way if you can stomach it... I have been working on a ATM OEX writing system since I get more data with QCharts these days... Once you look at historical options data on the OEX you would NEVER think about buying them...
