Apratim: <then would be the time for the options to fall dramatically> After Intc earnings are out, and both the uncertainty and the implied volatility therefore decrease.....at this time, if the dell equity price is still depressed, (and everything else being equal), the put premiums would then fall dramatically. Am I understanding what you are saying, more or less?
'''''Also, when you speak about the mentality of a put seller, I assume you also mean that you do not like timing, in general. With your extensive agility with options, aren't you tempted to consider selling puts early monday---or course, depending on what is actually happening.
'''''I would be very interested in how you might describe the mentality of a put writer, versus a call writer. I am not willing to short a Dell, but I am willing to write deep in the money calls, as other people are shorting. I call this MY "mentality".
'''''Anyway, only if you have time. and tia. |
