    AAPL and AMZN front month vola is cheap imo.

    We are long gamma in both.

    100% serious.

    They took a sandblaster to vola yesterday across the board.
     
  4. Implied volatility is trading way way above the stocks historical vola which is my first clue I dont want to be long IV in those names

    What is the historical volatility of a stock that has this theoretical recent price history:

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 ,10
     
  6. Where can you look up historical IV for free?

    I have been smoking AAPL, but AMZN has been a total disappointment.

    Still long gamma both. AMZN earnings may wake that vola up.
