    Hello,

    I know there's a catalyst for this at the end of the month but VSAR OCT 20 calls at over $6 with huge oi. Truth is the puts are really expensive too but oi on them nowhere near.

    Last time I saw something this high the stock tanked big on bad news so I'm a little bit suspect this time.

    Any thoughts?

    So put call parity is broken on this stock? Quick, you've got a guaranteed money printing machine!

    Yipee!
     
  4. The stock is expecting imminent test results - so everybody is gambling on that stock price.

    Is it? I mean, the vol is at 300% (nice double digit move is expected for the event), but i did not see any p/c dislocations.

    just a straddle play IMO... 60% straddle is a decent price... boom or bust!?

    Can someone post a screenshot with OI? For some reason I can't see it...

    No, I'm sure it isn't. The OP was basically making a nonsensical observation and I was trying to point that out, but since he appears to not know what p/c parity is or have the curiosity to look it up, it was probably a wasted effort.
