I sold a couple of the Nov 35 puts for $75 today. I've written the puts, have had it put to me, sold the calls, had it called away. $35 seems a pretty good price to add some. If I weren't already so top heavy with this one, I'd write more. I'm not above selling the 32.50s or lower, even for very little premium. Looks like free money, but that's what I was saying to myself when I wrote the 42.50s on down back in July. ARS I'm also thinking about selling a few Boeing (BA) Nov 75 puts. I don't follow them, but again it seems like free money given the Airbus problems. Not a lot of free money, but I'm not proud.
