THE TOP IVR NON-INDIE UNDERLYINGS AREN'T ALL THAT "TOP"
The top IVR (52-week ToS) non-individual underlyings (i.e., ETF's) aren't all that great again this week, but you'll notice some familiar names popping up yet again, primarily due to jumpiness in the precious metals and oil markets:
XBI (SPDR S&P Biotech ETF): IVR 52/IV 50 (Generally, Poor Options Liquidity)
EWZ: (See Linked-To Post Below)
XOP (SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration): IVR 47/IV 46 (Consider short strangles 45 DTE)
OIH (Market Vectors Oil Services ETF): IVR 47/IV 39 (Consider short strangles 45 DTE)
GDXJ (Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners): IVR 46/IV 52 (Consider short strangles 45 DTE)
ASHR (Deutsche X-Trackers Harvest CSI) (Basically, A Chinese Market Proxy): IVR 41/IV 50 (Generally, Poor Options Liquidity)
Naturally, you could put on a play in either EWZ, XOP, OIH, or GDXJ, but I would go small, keeping powder dry for any volatility pops that might occur going forward.
