Reply to comment by BadWoodworking in Most Bearish Stocks and the Cheapest Puts by mytendies

not trying to be an ass, but I get so confused by people's reaction to it. Can you honestly just read the sentences above each table and see if your confusion is resolved?
If you are still confused, let me know and I will explain it in a different way.

In short: the most bearish stocks (table one) and the cheapest puts (second table)

I tried but don’t understand the column headers.

Cheapest puts but how far out are you looking at.

"4 weeks out" as indicated in the first two sentences.

Fair point on the column headers, I need to explain that shit better on the next one.

4 weeks out... Are you from the future?

IV represents future expectations of price movement. I just compare that to past realized price movements.
