I've changed my perspective many times over the last few years that I have been following stocks. I actually bought a few options when I first started, and quickly decided that I didn't have the pre-requisite temperament for such foolishness.
But now, after 3 years without even considering an option, I'm actually thinking about buying one. Why? I just can't believe that the market will not have a pull back between now and June. Puts on the SPY seem pretty expensive considering where the VIX is, but how can it not happen?
Some earnings have been good, but certainly not all. Won't there be another panic? Not if I buy a put! That is what I found previously.
Dare I try again?
I don't know...
