Well s/he could roll the position for a $0.60-0.70 credit or close it out for a $1.40 loss. Personally I would roll it, but I would have probably...
I don't mind it. I think if you are short puts in enough stocks it helps diversify the company-specific risk. The vol on an index vs. its...
Ack! I just want to be clear that DTB and I are not the same poster. My only recent post in this thread was the Liz and Jenny response, which I...
I am reading all of this and I am just like....I tweeted Liz and Jenny today and they read my tweet on air yaaaasss!
Yes, definitely makes sense. My issue is that I have a number of different strategies going on, and sometimes I don't really want to get short...
I think I get this but just want to make sure I am tracking. By term structure being rich, you mean that near-term vol is much lower then...

I know nothing about this topic other than to say you have little to lose asking. I know in the US I was only successful after spending some time...
I have played PEP to the short side twice this summer and it worked out. FIZZ and TWLO are a bit illiquid. I'd have to have a lot of conviction on...
And bought back for a nickle.
I sold the $52 put this morning, which is ok for now. Hopefully it does not open much lower than it is in the after hours market (current $54.40).
Not going long, but trying to cover my $130 GLD short calls today.
Haha, well, if it works out, soon you will be trading $20 per point with a $10k account, which is a bit safer. :)
Having enough capital to do whatever strategy you want to play small is the right move in my opinion. Many people on here trade minis with sub...
Why not trade minis AND sell options, do both strategies in a small size so you are not risking your entire account, and test what works best for you?
