tjlocke99 Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 I own the subject calendar. Something odd happened yesterday. AAPL was up a few points, but the Oct 640 Call dropped in value approx 10%. HOWEVER the Sept 640 call gained a few % in value. The IB IV indicated that IV dropped on both calls but actually the IV drop in Sept was greater. I can't go back and look at historic IV now or the historic price. I just found this odd, and I was wondering if it was signaling something I didn't know about like some major positive announcement in Sept and negative announcement in Oct? Is this type of behavior common? Quote
Kim Posted August 10, 2012 Posted August 10, 2012 But the value of the spread is slightly higher now than 2 days ago - so what you care? Quote
tjlocke99 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Posted August 10, 2012 No the value of the spread is actual below what I purchased it for and thus I am currently showing a loss. Also I thought this behavior maybe for-shadowing some news. Quote
