### Comment:
With all that said, I might sell puts without a short position if it's a stock I want. Essentially a limit buy but with a premium to help cost basis

### REPLY:
I want to know how this can go tits up. It seems like a good idea if you're planning on buying the shares now, understand your collateral is tied up as if you had bought, and don't care about dividends in the interim (does anyone care about that?). 
  
 What's the reason not to?
