    Ok the markets were overbought when the fed paused. The fed is obviously expecting a slowdown in the economy. It seems it's time to short the market...Right?

  8. Buying back month vegas require paying a premium on duration vol. Add to that the fact that you're paying-up into a fed meeting. I can't imagine it feels good right now. Sure, we can hit your strikes, but it's a 6-sigma proposition.

  10. Do you think your target audience understands what you're saying? This would be like me answering your posts in Hebrew or Arabic.
