Everybody talks about it, with option premiums it is easy to determine what the stupid money expects to happen on a particular issue and do the opposite in a cash positive way with risk highly limited. Admittedly limiting risk reduces maximum profit but 3-5 sd moves are uncommon and will not leave you broke. So, since all the information needed to conduct such a strategy is available from open sources why do such admittedly boring strategies as fundamental investing with a large margin of safety persist?
