    Hi,
    Where can I find stocks with high implied vols? I looked at a number of sites such as ivolatility.com, optionseducation.com, schaeffersresearch.com, etc.. but couldn't find any such listing or ranking. Most of the sites list stocks by put/call ratio or IV/HV.

    thanks,

    Sam

    Thanks. Nice site for screening stocks. But it doesn't show information relevant to options such as implied volatility. Secondly, I did some screening based on historical month/week volatility but the numbers seem way off so I am not sure how they are computing it.
    e.g. for BP they are showing monthly volatility of 5.79% and in reality it is ~90%.

    Thanks. This is good. It would be even more useful if they could provide a bigger list, and allow some filtering by market cap in Xtreme report. But they do provide a flat file for vol data which is useful.
