This week's The Striking Price column in Barron's is titled, "Stop Selling Calls". Basically, the main warning is the high put/call ratio.

With volatility rising it must be that much harder being short premium. Still, I need to keep my bias against being short premium in check.

Technically, the market is starting to look more interesting. I'm looking forward to the FOMC meeting being out of the way.

QCOM strangle with 60 call and 65 put

Volatility on this thing suffered some shrinkage today, with volatility dropping from about 62% Friday to about 57% today- not very comforting when you are on the long side. I've heard a bit here and there about premiums dropping when the "next month" changes to the front month. This seems to support that notion. Does anyone know if this is a real phenomenon, or am I just seeing an anomaly?
