Wednesday's Agenda

One of the three prospects on my desk this morning has sufficiently high implied volatility to support a trade.

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.
