I am sorry that I cannot always make the chart small enough to fit neatly on the left column. I want you to be able to see the details I want to point out.


I Hope this helps,

I had suggested a bear-biased PCCRC on YHOO, but the stock rallied at first. Then the IV begun to increase as earnings approached, so I gave up on the idea of entering the trade. Here is what I published before:

Nevertherless, I DID keep a paper trade in my Shared folder, although I DID increase the strike price to reflect the rally in the stock. I won't take credit for a trade I did not conclude, but I should take this opportunity to tell you how to handle this trade from here on:

Earnings came and a collaps of the stock occurred. Unless you transform the trade into something different, such as a bear put spread, I would not recommend that you continue with a trade after such a significant drop. The reason being that you are risking your profits for not much additional profits. So I would simply close the trade.




Today Platinum's IV was not working properly. Volatility should come down after earnings. Another example was CWDC. My broker accounts were showing lower IV's in their platforms.
