    Not all, but most professionals sell options, not buy them for situations like we have today. They'll likely do fine on the sell side although I feel like the immediate upside is 5% and the downside is around 10% (confluence of MAs and anchored VWAPs). Just another take among many you'll hear all day and have been hearing all week. We'll see..

    I wasn't referring to covered call selling either. More like selling naked call and puts and spreads on either side of the expected move.
