China reached a bear market decline yesterday while the US market has just modestely declined.

Natural resource reach countries such as Canada tend to offer better alternative exposure to US markets.

Covered Call Option Writing Strategies: Fishing and Cutting Bait

my concern is getting highest bid price on option and greatest downside protection (5% on less volatile and >10% on volatile prevents excessive stop out) I avoid going too deep in the money (delta to 100) no time value. also avoid going too far out in time where I'm not immediately rewarded with time decay (theta) I personally don't know how to use vega (sensetivity of option to volatility) except now is opportunity for higher premiums with market trending higher shortterm
