Mail Call: Fall in, recruits!
- Question from Richard D: I think a whole boot camp show on skew could be very helpful! Thanks!
- Question from Hawkeye6: Love the pair of calendar spread shows. Can you make it a hat trick and have a show on double diagonals and double calendars? I am especially interested in hearing about selection criteria -- what makes a good candidate, criteria for strike selection, when to pick DD/DC vs. Condor/Iron Condor, etc.
