Stockarse, RE:"As usual you demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of anything.Selling a naked "put" is considered closing a short position. You should stick to tea leaves. Charts are not good for you." Puts and calls are "O P T I O N S".... The right but not obligation to buy or sell an underlying security at a latter date, based on a strike price and expiration date. Not quite the same as shorting a stock which is borrowing shares, selling them and having to replace them at a later date....hopefully at a lower price. That's why they call it "selling short". Did Yousef mention "put" or "short"...I recall "short". Now, Stocky, please tell me about my business and I won't lecture you about yours, Janitor at Intel. Have you ever seen me lecture Yousef about the fine points of process technology? Nope. Jim
