Yeah, VIX seems too low. Also, imp vol on SPY options seems awfully low to me.

I would be interested in the reading list as well, need some good info to take the next step. Thanks.

I absolutely hate changing tubes. Mtn bike is also now tubeless. Road and cross bike are not.

That's a nice bike, dest. I do a decent amount of road/mtn biking. Hoping to upgrade my cross bike this summer.

I am merely observing and limited to paper trading options at the moment due to current employment, but this thread is very helpful and educational. Thanks for posting these trades, I can understand them easily. I always struggled following dest's trades.

Long time lurker on these butterfly spread threads, extremely informative. I’m still learning a ton, but using some of these techniques has really changed my trading for the better.

Well, oil continues to go lower and the S&P is following it somewhat. Low volumes on the stock indexes over the past few days. Massive snowstorm in Iowa and Nebraska today. Walked through huge snowdrifts to make it into the office.
