### Comment:
That’s a very narrow view.  
  
 I don’t want to hold stocks because I think the likelihood of decline over the next 6-12 months is high.  
  
 Options can be played agnostic of direction if you wanted. Volatility itself is not necessarily a problem, particularly given that I write contracts.

### REPLY:
Volatility _is_ the problem if you’re writing contracts
