Introduction Compact

I would like to use this thread to do one of several things:

1) Explain about Implied Volatility and how to use it/measure it.

2) Find options that have either a high IV or a low IV

I am rather new to options so I can not add much right now but I got my idea for the thread from these two threads.

Good Luck,
John
