This Week in Futures Options 130: Cooking With Gas, Beans and Oil

Question from JLN7 -Is it safe to write calls in nat gas again?

Question from Mainev -Didn't quite catch the logic of the guest last show re: equities strangles. How would selling strangles help you rebalance your equities portfolio? Thx for this. Also enjoying Options Playbook.

Question from Neal J. - Does put-call parity work the same for futures options as it does for equity options? Thank you for all your free content.

Question from Brandon Elliot - Have any good rules of thumb when trading the term structure in seasonal products like corn?

Question from Oytrate - What is a reason that someone would write ITM covered calls? Seems like a waste of time to me since you're capping all of your upside.

Comment from Kelly Lef - Thought the user tip to exercise deep ITM calls to save on the spread was a good one. So I checked a few of my stock replacement positions that had gone ITM. Turned out the spreads were fairly similar to the spread on the underlying stock index so the any savings were pretty small. Not really worth the hassle to go through the exercise process. Maybe I'm just trading a more liquid index than that listener or am I missing something?
