I treat the options market the same way I treat the red light district when I visited Amsterdam in my youth: eyes straight ahead with gratitude that I have excellent peripheral vision.
I like learning from others about their various higher-level options strategy much like I enjoy learning about the science from our resident MDs and PhDs.
For now, I agree that buy and hold is the way to go for my investment purposes. I've been in this since well before CTAD '15. I'll risk more to make more. My hope is that enough call options are purchased if there is a positive CHMP announcement that it sparks a gamma squeeze. I'd gladly sell shares to use the proceeds to buy options in that circumstance.
But I also recognize that with each passing day those who hold a significant number of shares and wish to downsize exposure while still keeping some upside -- a conversion from shares to options may mitigate some risk. That's why I keep reading the options related posts even though for now they do not pertain to me.
