    Ha. Good idea. Make sure to do it on leverage. Sell puts on 10MM worth of notional on the banks. That way you can make 100% month. You'll be beating the S&P500 easily!

    Yeah. I think I saw it on a website somewhere. A guy named Gambino was advertising his secret strategy to make money in up, down, and sideways markets.

    Are you playing only with stocks options? Have you ever tried commodities?

    not sure if 26 vol justifies a nekked sell on BA and it is a 30 delta option 3% away... you can easily blast through your strike, especially if the market gives (the beta of BA is about 1.2, so it's a measly 2.5% move in SPX to your break even)

    Thank you much for your feed back my thought on the BA was to use the 50 day ema as a first area of support which was 74.74 secondary support would be the gap fill from 4-24 the close on that day was 73.21 with a low of 72.77. I try and look for consolidation areas for support. The RSI is moving into oversold now theta is .05 with 7 days left currently down .08 on the postion the 200 ema is down at 71.98 which I would anticapate holding however at that point I would probally buy it back. Thanks again for your comments
