John, thanks again for another clean and concise explanation on options - very helpful! This board is amazing. So when using this put strategy... Start with a company you would like to own at the current price or a slightly lower price It's best to sell a put on a downward weak move in the stock's price Take into consideration the timing of the dividend Keep in mind the percentage of your proceeds paid in commissions. 3% or less is ideal. Sell near-the-money puts about one month forward. If the stock rallies sell deep-in the money LEAPS at least one year forward.
