Everyone's terrified of getting "assigned" with options


Dumb...
I've sold puts for 10 years and been assigned exactly 4 times.
And every time... it wasn't a big deal.
Here's why:
I only sell puts on companies I'd be THRILLED to own at that strike.
So if I sell a put 10% below a price I already think is cheap, and I get the shares... I just got paid premium to buy a great company even cheaper.
This is also portfolio secured not cash secured... So NO cash draw like CSPs
If you're scared of assignment, you're selling puts on the wrong companies.
