My friend likes selling puts and honestly it worries me He makes money collecting premiums but I think he’s fallen into the trap of specifically looking for puts with high premiums At that point the strategy changes You’re no longer selling puts at a price where you’d actually be happy owning the stock You’re basically betting it won’t fall below the strike by expiration If you’re selling puts just because the premium is high on stocks you wouldn’t even want to own it starts feeling more like gambling I think he’s going about it the wrong way What do you guys think
