  5. GNTA high IV

    Now looking at the 15/10, this could have been placed for a credit on a 1:2 basis. But there would have been a small loss on Friday...

  6. GNTA high IV

  9. GNTA high IV

  15. GNTA high IV

    GNTA has IV that makes OSIP look like a dullard - around 260% for ATM calls. Press call for 08:30 tomorrow. I can't stomach paying that much...
