A 7 day expected move comparison of the big tech names set to report next week. Kind of huddling in the 4-6% range with the bigger moves expected in Amazon and Facebook and the smallest in Microsoft. None are crazy, even with the VIX near 30. Market vol is pumped because of election/stimulus etc, not because the market is whipping around too much (iow realized vol is lower than implied right now). Stocks generally stay at or inside their expected move about 70% of the time, with the other 30% often having large moves outside (an argument for defining risk to make the math work).
