What’s your take on time spreads: selling options in the front and buying them in a further out expiration? I’m personally not a fan (to the extent that I never do it) but I‘d be curious what you think, and it should be more of a volatility play than a vertical.
Nice article indeed. We totally agree that uncapped losses are the way to crash portfolios. Vertical spreads are a great way to play more safely with options. Moreover combining long/short spreads & OUT/ITM is possible to get the best from options in different market setups.
Great article as usual, thanks for sharing it!
