Can you explain this more, do you mean when the premiums are very low?

Hi everyone, Is this strategy a strategy that can work or not: I'm not interested in any sort of selling options only simply buying calls and puts. I buy long term calls like 6 months and 1 year to expiration and simultanously I buy a short term put like 1 month to expiration date. If I'm...

Thanks smallfil. I am not used to sell options, that's completely new for me and I'm a bit afraid of it because I don't know if I have to deliver the shares or what I have to do. I'm with interactive brokers. Can I lose more money than I put in If I sell options? When do I have to deliver the...

Or maybe buying SVXY after a huge spike like we had and with a good stoploss, Any thoughts?

Hi all, After the recent volatility spike up, do you recommend buying SVXY long call leaps or is it not a good strategy? TIA

Hi all, Markets seem boring the last couple of months, just going up. Who else is waiting for some volatility and spikes up? When do you think we'll see some decent down days?
