Hmmm, I didn't know the 2 went together....I would have sworn that I was trading after the limit down 2 nights ago. I guess it makes sense, no...
I can't find any news. No spx option activity, wtf? (Yes, I know CBOE's not on Wall Street.)
You are the better man for taking all that time to answer! Re vol, my first thought without checking his underlying was the op bought when, say,...
