>> Every time I write puts and the stock goes crazy on the upside, I sigh and think about all the money I'm missing from not owning the stock (that I thought was a good value, else I would not have written the puts).

I had no feelings of regret because I already owned the stock, so I profit by keeping the premium and by having the value of my core holdings increase. In that sense, it's an easier play than covered calls, where the value of my core holding is capped.

Although I think Mills Corp (MLS) is a fairly high-risk play because of the unknowns about their trying to sell off their assets, I believe the market is not giving fair value to the company's underlying value.

Bottom fishing, but I sold MLS November 15 put for 1.35.
