Last Thursday there was some curious buying in an out-of-the-money put option expiring next day, especially in the late afternoon. This was all explained upon a pre-announcement by the company later that evening of a very bad earnings quarter. The option gained 3300% overnight. I'm one of many...

Hi. Does anyone know of a screening tool that will show me "Out of the Money" options that have a bid as expiration approaches? I've tried a lot of screeners, and they don't seem to provide this. Thanks for any info...:cool:

Does look like "fat finger" when you look at the chart. Trend line indicates that WCG fell with the overall market. For what it's worth, Jefferies & Co. came out with a "buy" recommendation.

I bought WCG recently at 35. Sold put options when it was in the 20's for what turned out to be easy money. The business looks good, and the drop in price was too steep IMO. Apparently, others agree. Buy when there's blood in the street...

Thanks for the input! Bought a Florida muni fund as well. Also went with an Ohio muni fund. Both discounts historically high and appear to have had tax-loss selling the past few weeks. Good Luck!

I am eager to discover those closed ends under fierce Tax-loss selling. It is better to buy them friday before the close, because Herzfeld announces them On NBR on Friday night. Then they jump on monday. I have found symbol NBJ. Any other ideas? Thanks for sharing!
