Same could be said for calls, time decay in a sideways market is just as bad

thats the reason i only trade ssf no time decay, ok there is a small charge for the roll over, but they never end up worthless.

an cost of carry .. an if you top up margin, if can effetivley be worthless .. but larger point is, if you trading ever leaves you with worthless product or topping up margin, then best bet is to quit trading ..
