Hello Kindman,
The whole derivatives and speculation is risky. Selling naked puts needs more margin but it can be offset by buying a call below the strike price of the sold put i.e. bear spread.
If you want to buy the stock of a good company, one would certainly like to buy it cheaper and not at a high price by buying a call.Why loose the premium by buying a call?
Unlimited loss?---
If the stock price approahes the srike price of my naked put,
1. I can offset my position by buying a call at the same strike price and accept a small lossor
2. I would sell the future of the said stock
3. even if the put is exercised, I can have a stock of a company at a cheaper rate.
