Re: Sell deep in the money option

Huh? What does this have to do with anything, mate?

You realize that when you sell a call, you're short the underlying? So when the underlying sells off, you're gonna make money... What you...

Re: Sell deep in the money option

Right, but what does this actually mean?

No probs... 50%, to be sure, is a number offered by Peter Schiff himself, so I have absolutely no idea what the actual split was.

Huh? Why do I need to make up my mind? Why can't it be some combination of all of the above?

Well, that's the whole point, yet again... Given that this is edited material, how do you actually know that it was 50%? What if this was, in fact, a minority or a vast majority? How do you know...

I know what you meant. The "correlation" you were observing was just an artifact of the market's view on EUR, coupled with the SNB EURCHF floor. The market or the SNB changed, et voila.
