-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quote from arizonadreamer: Not for the faint of heart, but LDK is scheduled to report after the close. I believe IV is over 200. AZD -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pizza Boy was right. LDK's IV was over 200 at that time. And it revisited 225+ last November (see an annual chart of IV at IVolatility.com)
I am reading someone believed the highest IV during early last year can be over 450% caused by the financail crisis.
Dendreon Corp. (DNDN) A biotech company that was facing a critical announcement back on April this year. The IV was as high as 430% on the front month and back month options The stock was trading around 5$ and you could sell the back month straddle for 6$ so you could profit even if the stock went to zero! But as the old cliché goes... there are no free lunch, The stock was trading around 20$ the day after the announcement Just for the trivia guys...
