Default Re: selling covered options vs uncoverd options

[ QUOTE ]
I see many post on selling covered options but what about selling uncovered options. I know that most option ex at zero. So the seller must make all the money. And a seller can sell options far out of the money with very little time.

What do you all think

You can't possibly think this is how it works right? The seller makes all the money? This is rubbish.

What does not having a job have to do with anything? Ad hominum argument to me.

Selling naked calls seems very dangerous, not sure how your not having a job is an argument that it's not dangerous. Have you ever been called on a naked option? I've been doing covered calls lately, and have been doing ok, also buy calls and may buy puts, but I'd never consider selling naked options.
