I am used to girls showing their legs, but what the hell is going on in this thread ? Real tough men, posting pics of their legs and stuff ...

 

My favorite line from the Addams family movie (the most recent computer animated one)

 

Its possible if you earn from a twist in the term structure. You can be short vol in one leg and long vol in another such that you are net short vol and still earn on the long vol because the term twists.

Same thing can happen with a skew position. You can have vol go up but it doesn’t matter if you are at your long strike when it does, though your position 5 minutes ago was short vol.
