- for example, i have made my mind to buy 300 sh MRK at $40/sh,
- and the current price is $42.
-
- i can have a open order to buy MRK at $40 and wait.
-
- or
-
- i can write a naked put for $2/sh with strike price at $40
- and expiration day in march, i can pocket $600 today.
-
- before the expiration day,
-
- if MRK never reach $40. i have made $600.
-
- even MRK becomes < 40, there is chance the option holder will not exersise it.
- if i am lucky, MRK will close above $40 on the option expiration day. i still
- made $600 dollars.
-
- if MRK close at < 40, i will just buy them at $40 which is my plan anyway.
-
- is it a good way to buy?
