Asiata the Red Zone warrior <| sep |> Is this even football anymore <| sep |> thank you for the link . i ' ve been wondering what a proportional or pseudo proportional EC looks like . <| sep |> I sell a lot of contracts and I usually go for Index options because they ' re the most tradeable options with high volumes and less risk of very extreme intraday movements , so I ' d recommend going with them , Buffet does that as well . Otherwise , to get high premium you need expensive stocks and more volatility , the more expensive and volatile the more premium you get and again index options would be the better option , because the losses would likely be smaller than an assignment of 100 expensive stocks . It ' s also important that there ' s enough open interest at all times so you can buy back positions if you need to , the best stock options are always the once from the popular indexes . Also , the best time to sell is roughly 4045 days til expiration , you can look up the decay curve and take a look yourself , the closer to expiration the faster the option will lose value , so you have to pick the spot on the curve that ' s most beneficial for you as a seller . If you have further questions we welcome you to roptions .
