Implied vols. dropped off a bit. This implies some of the nervousness about a sell-off (due to the Bert, or Walmart news) has lightened up. Sill, 90% is a high volatility, showing that premiums remain high. The Nov. 105 straddle has a break-even at 82 on the downside and 128 on the upside; that should give you an idea of the premiums priced into the market. Overall, the put/call ratios have retreated to more/less normal, slightly bullish levels.
