I just started selling naked puts without using leverage and segregating enough cash to buy the stock (minus the minimal amount I need to keep in my trading account)in a savings account yeilding 2%. I wrote microsoft, csco and walmart puts and will make 10% on stocks I would love to own at that price. To wit: msft at 12.50, csco at 10 and wal-mart at 35.

Also, What about the person who put 20% down and prices drop 25%. He can keep making his payment (because it is on a smaller principal balance) but his neighbor who put nothing down and puts in a pool can get his principal cut 25%?

I cant wait to see how the people who had the audacity to make a large down payment react to principal cuts for people who bought more than they could afford with no money down. And, if you bought any house with no money down you bought more house than you could afford! ]]>

Therefore, no one can afford to sell at a quarter million dollar loss. People can't move for new jobs or if their family expands. I have watched this disaster unfold and wonder if this is happening elsewhere. If you don't believe me look up "Atlantic Station" and the condo/hotel "Twelve" in Atlanta. Check out the prices on realtor.com]]>

Also, why buy oil when you can buy IRR at a 25% discount. Just don't buy on margin and stay away from the leveraged funds. Look at EXG, ETW, EOD, JSN, JPZ for examples of tremendous opportunity.]]>
