I shall post a full analysis of WFM shortly.
The other two, BABA and MRK, have implied volatility that remains well below my standard -- the 60th percentile or greater of the most recent range -- and are unlikely to improve sufficiently to during the day to warrant further action.
A chart of symbols and their implied volatility:
| sym | range %ile |
| WFM | 62 |
| BABA | 21 |
| MRK | 39 |
