Herm: The information was exactly what I was after and greatly appreciated. I have some questions regarding a stock I just started looking at recently (GLBL). I wouldn't mind owning it but when I went to the CBOE to check the options the activity is anemic. It appears one person may be trading this as the number of calls (16) are the same just different months traded June 20's yesterday and July 20's today. The puts (10) were June 20 yesterday and June 22.5 today. It looks to me that if I were going to sell naked puts it would be the June or July 17.5 but how do I figure what to sell it for as their is no current activity? If I did write puts would the market maker buy them? How does he get rid of them in an option like this one? Am I better off staying away from this due to low activity? Thanks Dennis
