Taht's a good one Les, I've noticed the VIX and VIXN hasn't been as reliable as in the past. This implied vs actual volatility seems to confirm what I was thinking.The the Vix is just a measure of put/call ratio and taht don't tell all of the story , it can remain high in spite of low implied volatility, I notice on the QQQ call/put that even with a high ( bearish ) VIXN; the option prices indicated a underlying bullish attitude. However I didn't have a good way to check out or confirm what I seemed to see. Thanx Jim
