Graham Day was on a few times on CNBC's ETF Edge show to talk about that strategy. It seems simple enough. Mandy Xu is always on CNBC but she usually talks about VIX options and options trends in the market. Calamos has a buffer ETF (CPSM) uses 3 option trades simultaneously to achieve 100% downside risk over a 1 year period: 1) Buy DITM call 2) Buy ATM put 3) Buy OTM call
Seems as an odd structure (DITM +Call / ATM +Put / OTM -Call) when you could just Buy ATM/OTM Call Spread + earn int on balance investment Unless some form of tax arb ?
