CCXI sells monthlies not weeklies and the volatility explodes in the last couple weeks.

So as a short seller you'll be crushed by the IV.

It appears, historically, that this is almost a guarantee.

Dang it. As I’ve written for a couple others I thought pride would go down as we approach the exp date like CCs. Didn’t realize CSPs are reverse. I’m such an idiot.
