There was a story that IVs in the front month are distorted by people buying back soured bets in short calls... story suggest not to read too much bearish sentiment into elevated Vix levels...

corroborated by relatively high call ivs compared to puts ivs.

Which is probably a tail wag the dog phenomenon: currently demand in puts is pretty low as well.

I wonder whether old GM is still a part of it. It flew high today.
