OT That's a really great question, Gottfried. I have not yet found a systematic way to discover high implied volatility. I think there are websites that do such calculations, but they probably are not free. I simply routinely scan the options quotes for companies that I own or am considering purchasing. There should be a better way, and there probably is.

O.T. Gottfried, I use this site: platinum.optionetics.com

As well as high current volatility I also want volatility at the high end of the range. The volatility then generally decreases with time allowing you to pocket both time and volatility premiums. (Assuming you are selling options)
