the VIX was very high for a long time (3-5 days). That means that lots of options were sold with high premiums. The market tries to fool most of the money. Therefore we couldn't go dramatically down (or up for that matter) immediately. These options need to expire first.

something to think about.

I saw a web site which I forgot to bookmark which took several big blue chip stocks and showed where their Maximum pain was, i.e. where the expiration day price would be the for maximum loss of option dollars. ANYONE KNOW THIS SITE?
