joelle....sl/ss....

always keep in front of you, in clear sight, the understanding that all the books on options were written with a kinder and gentler market in mind.....current market is so dynamic and volatile that by the time you calculate using any formulae, the numbers are no longer valid....the implied volatility is not able to be calculated in advance, it becomes tangible when the offer is made and accepted, and the very next trade can be much higher or lower....remember you have stocks moving +/- 10% or more in a few minutes....the bid/ask spread if wide can reflect what the real situation is, or a trader testing the waters......similar to a less then liquid common stock spread....
