Weekly Options vs. Monthly Options?

[JeffUSA]

Which is your opinion on Weekly Options vs. Monthly Options?

I'm starting to think that weekly options may be better for intraday trades or short swing trades. There's a lot less premium involved with them.

It depends on whether you want to trade gamma or vega.
