"But you may be interested in knowing that quite a few of the July CMGI puts and calls closed at over 100 volatility, despite the decline in stock price. Suggests to me there was a demand for the options on the buy side which pushed the volatility from approx
92 to over 100 during the last half of the day."

Not really. Volatility goes up when a stock has a sudden fall. Traders are fearful of a big fall and grabbing for puts to hedge or to profit from further declines. It is a function of fear.
