Re: My Trade Ideas....

IV moves all the time depending on what is happening to the stock. For instance...earnings releases IV will always move up a few weeks prior just because no one knows what is going to happen to the stock. Will it rocket higher or fall on its face? no one knows, to the volatility is being implied by the option activity. When the news comes out, everyone knows now whats going to happen, so the IV goes down. Hope that makes sense.
