I am short Sept2.5s from weeks ago for 15 cents on PVA. Problem is lack of strikes. Looking at trades here, I get the sense Keith is most agrressive generally selling ATMs only with you the most conservative. Katytrader is close to you, CC is in the middle as am I. I do not have a solid guess on S+P. this is in terms of positioning cushions and types of stocks used but does not factor leverage and hedges and diversification. I think I am most out there on leveragage but probably more diversified (offset by leverage as a 15% position may be 30% of equity as a made up example). How do others size the total value of puts sold or premium sold vs equity bases? Jon
