    IS ANYONE buying puts on the VIX????


    I see the VIX dropping extremely quickly back to the 40-45 range sometime in the next 2-4 weeks.



    40.00 Nov 2008 VIX_WH 6.10 6.90 6.40 1.40 115 787


    45.00 Nov 2008 VIX_WG 9.60 10.20 10.10 1.90 23 830

    You may wanna post this in the options forum.

    By the way, the underlying for VIX options is not the spot VIX so it is not as straightforward trading them.
