I think listed options are available for Deluxe, but not Standard.

You can enter the Put as a stock.

For a 100 share contract, enter it as a quantity of 100 rather than
as one contract.

If the put expires, sell the Put for $0. If it gets exercised, it is
more tricky to get things properly reflected in Money.

If you write the Put, do a SellShort of the Put, and a CoverShort
when you close the position.

I've got Money 2004 Standard now. I used to have Money 2003 Deluxe before and
I remember I could enter a put but I can't anymore.
Here's what I found in the help:

***************
chapter 12 - Manage and track your investments
Equity and Index Options
With Money 2004 you can track your equity and index options. When an option
you own expires, Money alerts you so you can enter an expiration transaction
and close your option holding.
To enter an equity or index option:
On the Investing menu, click Portfolio.
Click the investment account name to open it.
Click New.
In the Investment box, type a name for the grant, and then press the TAB key.
Click Equity or Index Option, and then click Next.
Follow the instructions on the screen to finish setting up the account.

The problem is when I enter the investment name and press Tab, Equity or
Index option is not one of the options on the list (( Can you help me with
it?

Thanks!
