〖Trivia〗Episode 2:

Inferring market expectations for earnings volatility based on at-the-money straddle options.

Taking INTC as an example: The prices of the nearest-term straddle options closest to the current stock price are 2.01 and 1.91 respectively, with the current price at 38.12. The calculation process is as follows:

1️⃣2.01+1.91=3.92

2️⃣3.92/38.12=0.1028331584

From this, it can be inferred that the stock price fluctuation range of INTC on the 23rd earnings day (with only 68% confidence): around ±10%

There is also another method based on implied volatility, but the formula is a bit complex and not very intuitive, so I won't share it.

VIX Fear Index Trivia: The "16 Rule" roughly determines the day's market volatility.

For example: Today's $VIX price is 20.64

Divide VIX by 16, and you'll get the expected daily volatility.

20.64/16=1.29

The estimated daily market fluctuation range is 1.29%
