<<What I find an interesting comparison is to compare the implied volatility of Puts vs Calls to see whether the MM has a bias towards one or the other>> <Great insight.. and I agree with you completely..> HELLO?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! you have to have the PUTS AND THE CALLS to do that..... I have been trying to tell you that all day....you dont just look at one side....you look at them in relation to each other....and for instance..... what happens if the mirror image is broken...etc etc etc btw, watch carefully this trend in terms of minutes...I dont think that it can fortell a drop within the hour like you are indicating with IBM....it gapped down..was trending back up according to my charts during the day..and then had a bit of a drop off....and then back up again... maybe it will..but I dont think so.... I think it might do it in terms of a day or two...but not such a sharp turn indicator.... but it might...and if it did you can make a ton of money...
