Selling has proven to be a winner recently. But premiums were small (compared with earlier in the year) and that may have discouraged many from participating.

I still buy insurance. just in case.

I was not trading options in 2000-2002 but wonder if the same type of atmosphere will prevail for a while. High volatility, see-sawing.

It is the way it is until it isn't.
 
reason i mentioned this . is also that now comes the earnings season. and it will start to rock the boat violently..

but most stocks which will declare results after next friday. have been calm and range bound...

this is the calm before the storm

welcome to earnings season.

I ran a finviz search. optionable and have 500 million + mkt cap.. there are 1100 companies declaring results..in the coming 30 days.

oh boy, we have a lot of upcoming work. he he

I have not been selling options for a while. Premiums not enough for my tastes.

I wish the old days were back.

Do you perceive a major move in the markets or as compared to say the last 12 month average etc. or perhaps something altogether different?
