The executed trades included a UPS November-December 80/82 put diagonal for $4.50 (stock at five-year lows ahead of October 28th earnings), VST November 165 puts at $5 (stock down from 220 to 185 on six-day slide), and an SLV 43-40 1x3 put ratio spread at 24-cent credit capitalizing on 69 IV rank after Nick had closed a prior 42-47 strangle yesterday. The session featured extensive discussion about market quality, with CME showing $2.65 bid/$5.10 ask spreads deemed "untradeable" and GH (despite viewer Ron's pre-IPO success) having $4-wide markets.
