I feel like I live in bizarro world. Can someone please explain why, other than some OEX index puts, folks are buying calls here? Equity p/c, VXN, and QQV are down on the day. This will end so badly one day...

Well, here's that attempt...of course, its easier to manipulate Dow rather Naz, and they want to close this at/above 10,3 (as I thought)....Don't know if they will, but are trying.. Of course, one hopes buyers jump aboard COMPX at same time (which often happens)...problem is, today was so devastatingly down, longs are selling into upticks on COMPX, and the usual jump that you would see is just not there.. I think guessing gaps up/down are just that...guessing...but congrats on your great day today! Great going!
