      2 days with both $SPX and $VIX cash and futures up. If that is not a clue to hedge or buy straddles, then I admit to being clueless.

      Interesting fact: $NFLX intraday (open to close) realized vol is 139.56%. The March ATM options are 66% implied vol. Feb weeklies 70% IV.

      There must be a good reason that $VXZ is a ghost town. I SO want to trade those options but nobody wants to party with me...

      ...and that makes me like the idea of tentatively selling some of that high IV.

      Let me know if I'm crazy, but that $SWN Jan/ Feb roll has me thinking the trader is not anticipating a move before Jan expiration.

      Old news to some: $SWN Feb 34 calls being bought up last few days. Looks like a roll from the Jan 34's. Feb & Mar IV up big. Jan not so much

      Put spreads doing well in this climate (especially $VXX). Straddles not so much.

      Tug of war between $SPX breaking the 20 SMA/ 50% fib line and the holiday seasonality of IV tapering off...
