New Trade: GDX Naked Puts

Today with GDX trading at ~52.50 I entered into the following transaction in a taxable account:

01/20/2012    STO 4 GDX Feb 18 2012 GDX 49 Puts @.57                  214.89

If these puts expire worthless we will earn 6.7% in 29 days on a margin maintenance requirement of $3195.88. This equates to 84.3% annual. I was looking at the 48's for .44 but decided to take on a little more risk since this ETF is easy to roll down and out.
