Should You Consider Trading Weekly Options Expirations?

[Aquarians]

There was a time when I thought weekly options are great because it's easier to predict the short term than the far future. Then I noticed the short term tends to be riddled with unexpected events that are hard to describe statistically (at least I couldn't), while the longer term tends to follow some statistics to a much higher degree.
