Doug,

Thanks for the response. Re:Of course, you probably wouldn't want to be short in that situation, and would have either bought the stock or the call while you had the chance to before the end of expiration day.

Not necessarily. Think about it as the opposite of writing covered calls for a stock you think will fall in value: writing puts with your short position covering you for the shares. One could sell an in the money naked call orignally with the same idea as selling a naked put to enter a position to sell covered calls. It's a stock you would like to be short on, and entering with the premium in your pocket is even better.

Doug,

Parity on Columbia Labs (COB) is well above where the stock has been trading since Oct. 27. This is one of the stocks that is being investigated for "painting the tape" at year end. Do you have any words of wisdom as to if that is a clue of some kind to future price movement, based on your experience?
