low options volume today. The big change is the heavy put volume
in Jan. options. Could be longs hedging their position, and
taking advantage of the lower implied vols., or bears rolling
their positions further out in time. There seems to be a continued
consensus that August will be q lower volatility month. Also, for
the first time in a while, the Oct. optins premium dropped off
a bit.

The current implied vols. in Aug. options indicate that there's
aoubt an 85% chance the price closes between 85 and 140.
