Selling naked options can be very risky.  There are many other ways to trade
with the same or better profit potential and have limited risk.  As a market
maker and as a trader, I have always abided by one rule.  " Never be short
more options then you are long"  That rule stood me in good stead until I
retired  and in the 18 years thereafter.  Ira
