nor have I seen such a premium in options before

you seem to be asking for help and you sometimes complain that no-one answers your posts, so here goes:

please keep this in context that the writer is often wrong

1.keep an amount of cash aside for cashflow...
as soon as you gamble next week's payments, you are potentially in a forced sell position
2.do what works for you, no matter what pressure comes from others to comply to their policies and strategies
3.continue to be yourself and post what you feel

hope this is constructive
cheers
