    Hi,
    isn't it a good idea to short-sell deep-in-the-money (DITM) options?... :)

    Update:
    No, a 2nd thought says me that it's a silly idea... So, forget it, folks, sorry...

    Shorting OTM options is a foolish idea - it's like picking up pennies on the freeway. You will get hit eventually.
