My friend who was a CBOE MM said they most definitely do.

I had also heard that from Camp quite some time ago. I imagine there are other external factors, but that is what I remember they said.

I do not think it necessarily wise to presume buying the puts in the next month during expiration is wise. As I mentioned to Dom it used to be a no-brainer but not so any longer.

The trend is starkly similar to '87, after which regulatory bodies clamped down on rules involving the short sale of puts.

Quite a number of people got badly burned because they had become accustomed to selling naked puts. Many went bankrupt. Of course, the old rules don't apply any more.

Wiser may be to leg into a spread, whether debit or credit, as Don was doing once or twice.
