Dongyan,
The risk in selling naked puts is the strike price times the number of shares. If the stock goes to zero, whoever bought your puts gets to sell you the stock for the strike price, even if it's worthless, and you gotta buy em.

Re: "What is risk of selling naked puts? It seems Etrade does not allow sell naked puts for Level II."

Don't know what level II is?

But selling puts is a great idea for the company. They could do the buyback by having the stock PUT to them and keep the premiums then ride the stock up after they own it.
