You say the premiums have been fat -- what do you mean?

When in recent history have we had such moves in the indices? Coming out of Dec and Jan I thought the reverse --we've had huge moves in the underlying and the options are still priced way low (one of the reasons I started buying puts then -- in hindsight the ones on LU and DELL were cheap <g>) -- admittedly premiums have gone up lately, but the rise in premiums seems at least a little bit justified by recent market action ...

Do you have a more quantitative way that you judge on your own? I'd certainly be interested in your approach ...
