Everything I ever needed to know about options trading, I learned from my wife's shopping habits.  Wink

Buy = money gone from my account

The converse is also true…

Sell = money goes into my account

In other words, buying calls and puts have created losses, while selling calls and puts have created gains.

If you sell puts now, you won't gain much…..except stock. Smile
