Plus you get the interest on the $10,000 held in your account during that time. The thought of playing HSOA this way crossed my mind. If I am bullish enough to go long, why not sell puts where the most I could lose would be $3.50 per share, assuming I sell at $5 and the stock goes to zero. In fact, if I sell puts now, I would have what's known as a "Texas Hedge". I'd get double whacked if the price fell. LOL Writing puts is a good strategy for making money, especially on stocks you think are somewhat undervalued but are slow to appreicate.
