Volatility Voicemail: Listener questions and comments

Question from Adam S.: Hello, is there a correlation between imp vol and move in the stock before earnings? I noticed that aapl imp vol is still 33% even though they will report on Tuesday. Does that imply there will be a small move? Nflx was in the 80s and it moved 10%. I sold put and still made money. Would you sell strangles otm to benefit from vol collapse?

Question from Pick6: Are there too many VIX-related products? Have any of them ever failed?
