Quote from atticus:

Sold my largest $vega position of the year on Friday due to potential for Sandy to cause a drop in exchange volume and vola.

They were dropping vols in the last hour on Friday like before long w/e…Are they betting on markets to be closed on Monday?

This reminds me Atty…where is our resident Uber G ?? Banned?
I expect “it” to show up here with the new handle “Neil_Hates-Bushes” any moment now

it's going to hit me here on the Island on the south shore... models say it could be pretty bad, weird direction for a hurricane to take.

hopefully i'm not completely screwed... up to 80mph sustained winds would tear shit up here with a big storm surge.

Quote from IV_Trader:

110 on weeklies or NOV ?

I have 250 for weeklies (day before exp) and north of 85 on NOV

Believe it or not it’s STILL an entry (especially NOV )…the vola can print insane numbers based on FB report

I modelled monthlies as that's wha was available when we discussed this.
 
Yeah, it's not too late to buy the straddle. There is virtually no downside. I had bought the 110 straddle. I switched from 110 to 105 on friday. The 105 straddle was bought at 12.85. It's north of 13 right now.
