Re: Writing Naked Puts & Calls - Risks

Guys I know in theory they have unlimited risk (naked calls), but is there any more risk than trading highly leveraged commodities short and having them gap against you the next day?

Yes in theory it is unlimited risk, but who would let a position move against them that much. Isn't it usually possible to close out these options positions?
