<Re: Market Volatility>

With the Nas volatility calm down, option premium went down quite a bit.
(Especially ones that are few points away from the strike price)
So if you are not sure about the direction but sure on volatility,
could reap nice profit.

1. If the market is calm but you think it will get wild,
then buy BOTH call & put, for the option premium will jump both calls and put.

2. On the other hand, the market's swinging big but you feel it will calm down soon,
then sell both call and put.
(If you want to play little safely then buy QQQ and write calls and puts)
