Whether an options writer or buyer has better edge? Why?

Well silly, once you know that, you consult the Max Pain theorists!

Well, to paraphrase an old veteran trader :

Max Pain works great, until it doesn't.:)

You clearly love to argue. Over notbing.

It is NOT my assessment of the situation. It is the truth.

I did not supply 'proof!' You didn't ask for any evidence -, why would any normal person cite a reference for every statement he/she makes?

Who the hell are you to demand proof? You want proof, send me a check for $100 and I'll research the information for you. You are just too lazy yo do it yourself.

You want proof for free, ask the Options Clearing Corporation:

options@the occ.com.

Of course, their reply may not be proof enough for you.

I disagree. The percent is easy to know, if you know where to look for it. I don't know where, but the OCC does.

You really are a twit. Of course 'some options expire ITM.' No one ever suggested that 100% of options expire worthless.

You need to wear glasses. I did not argue. You read that and someone else's intervening post and assumed I argued.
 
Funny thing is I sold a bunch of puts hoping they would go in the money and I get assigned stock. But instead things went up.

And on another note. If you are selling puts because you want to collect premium and not own stock at or below the strike price you really should hedge buy doing a spread.

How far ITM were these puts that you sold?

Why didn't you just buy or sell the stock outright if your intention of selling the puts was not to just collect the premium?
