These results are consistent with our previous research showing that implied volatility risk premium is typically rich for short-dated options . That is, 1M implied volatility tends to be higher than 1M realized volatility. So, selling 'expensive' 1M upside call options to finance the purchase of longer-dated calls has generally been attractive.
Looking again at Figure 10 above, strategies selling 1M calls have, not surprisingly, "banked" close to the entire 2% annualized premia only during market downturns (for instance, compare the performance of ATM calls and ATM — 1M 2% calls for the Oct-07 to Mar-09 period in the table).
