    Just once I would like to see Mark Brown do this!

    Down it goes but
    Don't worry.

    There is a support band to support Unh

  5. me again...

    Before last qtr disaster earning crash, the average pre report implied straddle was 4.5%.

    It's currently at 12.3% (report is on 7/29). I watched many stocks crashing after report but don't remember implied straddle jump more than 50-80% for the next report.

    Applied to UNH, pre report straddle may be around 7.3 and its 12.3 now with 3 weeks to go.

    No trade for me since I don't take short positions, so just an observation.
