I am selling a lot of puts. Sellers are not there. So we either go up or stay here. Either way I win. Selling SPX puts (weeklies, quarterlies and July). Somebody has to collect premium. And as usual, if I am wrong and the market goes down, Ben will bail me out. Denleo

Sellers are there, but short sellers :P

Excellent strategy. Analyzed in detail here.

You actually sound like a stale bear!! Obvoiusly kidding (in my opinion anyway). If not then good luck. I do agree right here right now and possibly next few days no real sellers and more pain on the bears in store. I am not trading it this time however, somthing not quite right.

Excellent strategy, especcialy for this great risk free environment we're in. I mean how could anything possibly go wrong. ;) Seriously, though. These aren't futures, where you can stop out overnight. But I'm sure you know what you're doing. BTW, when is that Blackstone IPO coming out ?

We have a fed meeting next week, and lately the whole mkt game is keying off of rates...I wouldn't say there isn't any potential risk out there.
