Quick income ideas on MSFT & IBM

Just quick thoughts on two stocks' options, which I may use for future reference for something I'm working on.

I think MSFT has shown good valuation at the current price (closed at $32 today) and if you know how to write naked puts, you may make a quick $120 within days (by Friday this week) per 10 contracts. Here is the quote today for this put, expired on Jul 26 (Friday). If MSFT stays at or above $31.50 at close this Friday,  the puts will be worthless, i.e. those writing the naked puts will get the full profits at around $120 per 10 contract. Let's see on Friday. Otherwise, you can buy this already depressed MSFT at a more discount price at around $31.38 (another 2% discount from its current price)
