    The code for the PRV calcs is not very intensive. What does eat up the CPU is the continuous sorting (especially with my R2K list!)

    mark1, Knowing what the implied volatility (IV) is for the front and back months can tell you things.... Look at the positive skew for JADE. I can tell you earning (or some other big news) is coming without having to go to earnings.com.
