DownTime, thanks for explaining some of your thinking and rationale.

Are you talking Mar or Apr puts on the INFN example?
Is it pertinent how close to expiry?

The part I need to get my head around
is how to judge whether the time premium
is low, reasonable, or high
for a given underlying.

I think a modeling tool could be valuable.
Perhaps that is mandatory for advanced positions
(straddles, etc).

One strategy that sounded compelling
was writing naked puts, and just collecting premium,
but you have to be capable of having the position
put to you.
