Sure, I get burned sometimes, but hitting 3/3 or 4/4 AND all the options is so much more satisfying than hedging. That having been said, it's not a strategy for everybody. When new players ask, I always tell them that shorting a put is the most efficient way to achieve negative cash. A 2$ profit in 2 weeks is an ok investment for my port.

No, you can make a lot more than 2 bucks. JohnTEQP May 12, 23:11
