PAL After many years of investing, I finally stumbled upon the short put strategy that you sometimes use. It seems to me to be the best way to earn money on your money. The strategy seems to have been made for companies like Dell that have continuously improving earnings. Even if earnings slow, or the percentage gain is not as great as in past years, the in the money put premiums are still so outrageously reasonable that it is hard to not sell them. My question is: Are you familiar with other companies that would be equally safe to use this strategy? Perhaps EMC? Maybe CSCO or INTC? What do you think and what are you selling puts on now?
