If ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) is above $60 at expiration, you would keep the premium as your profit. Brokers generally require a 20% margin deposit when selling a put, which can be thought of as a down payment on the possible purchase price. In this example, the margin would be $1,200 (20% of $6,000), making the return on investment 5% if the option is not exercised.
