To be honest with you as the elections near, that is when I am expecting the DOOM scenario to play out............again all depends on the Fed if they received their new HP high speed printer............that is why HP actually is splitting.........one unit for Business / Retail and the other for the Gov't due to their high orders on $$$$$ printers.................

Actual volatility is up 1.25 but option implied volatility (the vix) is down over 3... The market only recognizes volatility on the downside. That is a lesson an options trader really needs to think about.

Somehow, put call parity has to keep the equation equal. It is not easy to do. The only solution is large bid ask ask spreads which make arbitrage impossible. You can try it for yourself, there should be opportunities with actual and implied volatilities out of tune, to sell synthetic puts and buy real puts, but you will have to deal with big spreads.

Sure looks like DOOM to me. Despite having remarkably well-CONTROLLED price action today, this was just a lame attempt to snuff a few puts for OPEX. We are now rolling over fast, and will likely be bright red for the close.
If that happens, Monday's open could see new market lows in a hurry.
Watching SPY 188 closely here to see if it turns back up, or if that's the cliff we fall from.

188 didn't even try to put up a fight. LOD is right below that. Lose that, and I think there's still enough fear out there to create a freefall into the close.
