You're a speculator by your own admission; simply substitute put for call: "selling the put options".

Lol....

YOu see paysense... the point we are making is that if you are already short the put synthetically, why not short the put directly and choose a better position to begin with in most cases. Especially if you are doing buy writes.

The only advantage to the buy-write is under some discrete gamma-trading scenario in which the trader is adjusting deltas. Of course, nobody would buy 50-deltas in the atm simply to get flat later.

OK AKS is 35 Jun 35 call is 1 Jun 35 put is 1.

Sell it. I know what I'm gonna do with the CC trade to manage risk.

But the put trade?

Let say I use my SL method. Stock falls Monday morn to 34. Is this my target to buy back naked put. What will naked put price be? What percent loss is that to my portfolio?

Let this slow man think about it.
 
LOL.... Poof

What I meant by buy write is the people who do covered calls simply as an addition to an already full stock portfolio compared to those who go out and buy the stock for the sole purpose of establishing the buy write. I would not expect the stock holder to liquidate everything to switch to short puts.

you still sober?

You'd have lost the exact same amount on the naked 35 put as you would've on the covered 35 call.

Are you sure about that, cause that would mean they are equivalent????
