Wait ‘Til Barron’s Sees This!



This past weekend, a friend of mine,
Erin, who writes the Striking Price for

Barron’s
, spoke of how the CBOE will be listing a volatility index (similar to
the VIX they display on the OEX) on the NDX. Funny, but at 1010WallStreet.com
we’ve had a volatility matrix for the top ten most active index options for
months. I guess I’ll have to drop my friend a note to keep her abreast of
what’s going on.

Shortly, we will also have 60-day historic volatility of each of these indexes
so we can display not only where the volatility is, but also where it is
relative to its recent history.

last night. In particular, I’d
call your attention to JNPR options, as $ Weighted Call to Put volume
over 4:1 is a significant departure from the norm in that option class.
