I wonder how many Berkshire put contracts Berkshire could write before the market makers noticed and stopped offering decent premiums?
I only started writing puts regularly after reading that Apple accomplished a chunk of their buyback by contracting with a large bank to write puts. Now I do it all the time, it's a reasonable way to goose returns and/or acquire stocks that I like at prices I am amenable to.
I looked at BRKB puts this morning, September and October ones, and none of them looked particularly attractive to me. Even with the huge VIX spike, it didn't appear to me that Berkshire options jumped enough. Other options went crazy (NVDA for example) and premiums were sky high. In the end, I did nothing of consequence this morning.
