Since I changed my nick handle, searching for my posts hasn't been working well lol, so I'm posting them from memory.

Why do I keep repeating this same thing three times or more?

Around the end of February? On 2/27, I had posted about the massive multi-leg call options"

Think about it, VIX is at 17.5 right now

But it's not like there are weeks or months left until expiration

Expiration is just 4-5 days away, next Wednesday
And next Monday is Memorial Day, so the market's closed

31-42.5, 32-45 price range, two massive bets..."
