Great show. Quick question - Are covered calls as popular in futures options as they are in equity options? Do they have the same performance characteristics? Question from George - Like the OI heat maps. Your stuff is slowly bringing me over to the dark side. I'm looking at brokers now but I'm not clear on FO margin. Is it the same span or portfolio margin like regular options or something different? And when are you going to hit on hogs again? Question from Vegan - During the election we saw the post-election markets crash during the event and then shoot up the next day. When rare events happen odds are the market will have a hard time going down again in the near future. How can you trade options with that in mind?
