As an MM, there is plenty of well-funded paper who don't know shit. Which is to say: just because $SPX cowboy triples down on a long-delta play, doesn't mean that bet will come to fruition. Don't trade based on my tweets, in fact I stay in biz from doing the opposite of paper.

ok. as requested. an option's theta (theoretical rate of decay over time) is not just "income" to an investor holding a short position. it is compensation for the risk of loss that investor faces from negatively asymmetric exposure to moves in the underlying asset.
