Re: [RT] Selling Uncovered Puts

Hi John,
 
I do not trade naked puts but have nothing against 
the strategy, as long as you have the funds to cover the position if necessary 
and like the stock anyway, as you have said you do.  I just prefer other 
option strategies.
 
There is a web site that I have found very 
useful.  They have some very 
powerful scanning tools.  The table below is a scan for naked puts (Dec. 
expiration).  Since it is not free ($39.95 / month, 1 month free trial) I 
prefer to send the name privately.

As you can see most fields can be set as you 
desire.  For example you might scan for stocks with options expiring in 
January with a stock price between $30 and $50, a PE between 5 and 30 and a 
PEG < 1, or any other combinations you desire.
 
If you are interested send, your name and e-mail 
address to me privately at <A

the info.  
 
Good luck and good trading,

  Subject: [RT] Selling Uncovered 
Puts
  I am developing a 
  methodology to do this and also limit loss. I just covered my NLS puts for 
  a nice profit and just sold Sears Jan '03 Strike Price $22.50 at 
  $2.25.So far using PEG and PE are found very useful. With Sears even 
  with its shortfall which caused it to fall out of bed, it is selling 
  around 5 x earnings.Break even is $20.25 per share if put to me 
  there. If lower I am holding a quality company. If it goes higher I can 
  buy the put back at a profit.Does anyone else work in this arena 
  and have critria for selling uncovered puts?JohnTo
