PTB; Well can't that implied volatility be to the upside as well as the down side ? isn't it tied to the "premium" or spread so to say. Like I thought it would be ether way, and that a lot of call buying could spike it as well as put buying, as a spike in either one would increase the "premium" , I'll admit my mind is not clear on VIX , if I see it spike I try to find out if puts or calls are being bought. Or does it just measure the put premium over the call premium ? Now I'm more confused than I thought I was. <G> Jim
