  1. i get your thoughts.. leave yourself expose to the upside near term.. and buy long term downside skew.. typically downside skew is expensive.. and more so when the market is up.. coming from the are of work that your in i would consider doing some studies related to volatility.. your buying different forms of volatility and distribution that you have no yet quantified.. therefore respectively your shooting off the hip..

    trade small relative to your allocation , reduce your size as you lose.. your trying to thread the needle by calling direction both short term and long term.. then on top of that your making assumptions on the implied s that your buying that you haven't yet quantified what they mean.. where will your position be in a month over X values.. any idea?
