Two years of days where implied volatility is 100%. That is not an everyday level of implied volatility.

A single day move of twenty percent is rare even in small caps. Facebook moving that much means the market did not except even the risk of something this big.

For comparison when Nissan announced a recall of over a million cars their stock moved less than three percent. Single day moves are rarely so large, and almost never this large for a single company.
