#Options #QOTW – Looks like the #TradeWar premium is back in effect. $VIX is back over 22. Our question this week is will this premium last? Quite simply – where will $VIX close NEXT Friday 5/17?
Here: 21-23
Higher: >23
Lower: 19-21
Still Lower: <19
Question from KO – You guys buying this $VIX pop here?
Question from Tela – Question for Fidelity Hot Seat host – does Fidelity offer zero commissions when closing out short option trades below $.10?
