I do not pretend to grasp these things, but as I understand it the recent volatility of the market has made options very expensive. Are you suggesting that members are perhaps working a hedge, maybe selling naked options and holding protective short positions to profit off these expensive spreads? Just curiosity--for me any of these short-term things are the financial equivalent of a rodeo ride on a bull. Some people are good at it.
