<<Selling Puts on FLC<<

Might not be a bad idea as the oil service area seems to be showing a triple bottom.

However, the charts show an imminent reversal in PDE and UPR seems to already be moving upwards.

IMO FLC [painful as it has been in the past] is now getting to the point where the reward:risk ratio is nearing 10:1. ie I wd not sell and might load up more.

PDE has the best debt-equity ratio and free cash and it has yet to catch up in price to UPR's up move, so it is my favorite play at this time.

John, I have done it and am considering doing it here. My only problem is that I would have to consider the short puts a third position, and I only have a third to go. I kind of want to own FLC long at these levels. Maybe I'll do the synthetic, short the puts and buy the $10 calls. MB
