I've been short naked some ES 1700 puts for about a week. Today,
Interactive Brokers notifies me that i'll be charged an "exposure
fee". That's not a problem, and it's just a few pennies.
But here's the thing - why now? Why see my short put position as
more risky now than last week? Has IB suddenly become more bearish
on the market? Do they know something that we don't?
I'm confused (just came back from bridge game, maybe that's a
problem) If your puts became more risky now - doesn't it mean
brokerage become more bullish ?
Does my brokerage see bearishness?

No - I'm SHORT the puts. :-)
And they are the 1700 strike puts. ES would have to go a LONG way down (all the way down to 1700) before those short puts would be losers.
