Bill, what am I missing?? << In fact, selling naked puts might make a lot of sense if you believe in the long term... you could pick up some REALLY cheap stock next week. Of course the questions is, what is cheap? Boeing at 30 may STILL be expensive if you can pick it up in a month at 15!!! >> This is a real loser of an idea. If you sell puts you buy at today's price (minus the put premium you captured). But you can buy at half price next month. If you sell the put next month and the stock rallies, then you can capture the premium but you won't have the stock.

While we have only 24 DOW Globex points up right now>>>> you posted this at 10:07 for accuracy purposes... TRUST ME (or check here cme.com we are NOT UP on the DOW via the S&P 500 globex at 4:00 EST the futures were trading at 989.50 I said this once tonight on this thread..and I am saying it again... (because people often miss this about when the futures close versus the cash and they misinterpret globex) the futures closed at a BIG discount to the cash close and that is why index puts went up after 4:00 btw Brad...CNBC finally is flashing the right globex ticker tonight...
