### Comment:
On the other hand, if you’re happy with buying the company at the current price who cares if it goes down? Selling the put at least gets your cost basis down and you end up with the shares instead of worthless options. Most options expire worthless, selling premium is not a bad way to go as long as you manage the risks (which you are with cash secured puts).

Yeah, I'm not saying it's a bad strategy, but it's the only downside risk with it.
