Judy - I agree that selling puts in this market will certainly test your stamina - it has certainly turned more than one trader into an investor! I actually sell bull put spreads. Last year at this time I was put some WIND, but made up some of the lost money on the long puts. I was fortunate enough to buy enough Jun 22.5 and Aug 20 and 25 calls (when the stock was at 18-19$) to more than make up the lost ground. Although my trading account has a myopic focus on WIND (primarily time constraints), my investments are "concentrated but balanced" in the words of Jack Rothstein, a local talkshow host on business radio in the DC area...and thanks, good trading/investing to you as well CArolyn
