  1. Cool story from the dude that doesn’t realize that he’s shorting puts.

  3. Dude, stop embarrassing yourself. It's arb-equivalent to a same strike short put. So when the mkt drops and vol goes up... you lose. And you're losing.

    @lightninboy's math is different from yours. He doesn't count unrealized losses on his underlying as losses.

    • Time Premium = (Strike + Call Bid - Stock Last Price)
    • Calculate Net Debit: (Stock Last Price - Call Bid)
    • Potential Return = Time Premium / Net Debit
    Do we agree on that?
