Don, thanks for sharing your approach.

I also do puts, however I'm reasonably conservative and am prepared to take the stock if put to me. I then turn around and do CALLs until it's called away. My objective is to stay in cash and keep the premiums. Your approach is more aggressive but OK and I like the use of LEAPS... don't know why I didn't see that as an alternative.

Thanks, you've given me an alternative where I might be able to be a bit more aggressive. I'll have to consider issues that have the LEAPs.

Tom

Don, Thanks for the explanation. I guess the key here is to stick with very strong stocks, ones that you you have confidence will be higher in the long term.

Good Luck
