This is also an option question, but not put option. If i sold a covered call and the stock goes over my strike price, is there anything I can do to increase my profit? G. Sayo

That is the great thing about selling puts…you make money if the market goes up, goes sideways or even if it goes down some. I usually sell puts that are about 5 – 10% below the current price of the stock.

I bought Lee Lowell’s book GET RICH WITH OPTIONS about 2 years ago. It sat on my desk for quite some time before I started reading it. After reading it a light went off in my head and I decided that I needed to start selling puts. I started the end of February and my portfolio value is up 70% now only 4 months later.

The margin requirements on put selling can be terribly complicated. Various brokerages have various rules.

Leap puts pay the highest fees and put you at less risk if you get 7 for a leap instead of 3 for a 6 month put, but is it more profitable?

If you are promoting puts you must detail margin and cash back up requrements

Hi,
you should also discuss the margin requirements, sometime it is huge specially in high price stocks.

Selling options in a volatile but sideways trading market is a great concept. But if the market turns anywhere but sideways, you may get hurt, and if a major market move hits, you’ll be slaughtered, especially if it’s sustained.

Can you explain how much someone needs in their account to do this type of trade? For example, if you don’t own any of the stock that you are selling naked puts on do you need to have the value ot the put stock in your account in case you need to buy the shares at the put price? This is not clear in your explanation. Thanks.
