    You're the noob. Not cryptic, just silly. Yeah, it's exposure. Theta is working for you and gamma against. Wow, a revelation.

    Why short puts and not long calls (other than microstructure)?

    You don't have to be specific, but I don't use the word arb and legging in the same sentence.

    WTAF are you showing 1y2y series? A 10/20 short call spread is = a 10/20 long put spread. Box arb. Tool, stick to basket weaving.

    In before he backpedals.

    I stumped you? I must be better than I thought, lol.

    Poopy, maybe go back to trolling people in politics under one of your other nicks... you're incredibly transparent at this point.

    No, as you know posting two maturities has nothing to do with the question at hand. A vertical, buy definition, is a single maturity.

    You're literally too dumb to debate.
