Anyone selling premium only

Quote from optionbull:

Would it make sense here to look at the shape of the curve with respect to vol?

Buy a vol. position a bit further out?

the idea would be to find a macro event coming up.. like debt ceiling.. or something idk.. that you could buy premium in that month.. say march... and sell feb premium.. its like when you can potientially see demand for protecting increasing you buy it and sell the where there isn't demand.. relative value....

Where can find convexity or lack of vol., curve?

Not just price chain?

Thnx

I still curious anyone just taking a break for a few months? If you were long equities last few months have been awesome. Short puts did nice for me but underperformed the former. Long vol died lately. I know everything can change in a minute but it's been so good when everyone on cnbc looks at each other and says what me worry, I worry.

Isn't a short timeout until they move the goalpost again on sequestration warranted? They did it on the debt ceiling. Does one fall behind simply if you keep what your just earned?
