CL.
I was going to buy 75puts at the close but they were at 1.10
They expire in 11 days I believe. 74puts were .85 .. Lotta premium for 11days
Lot of premium? Do you remember that just yesterday at 8am CL traded 72.60? That is only 36 hours, for 11 days (ignoring a directional bias) that doesn't sound like enough to me.
With the market moving up 6$ so far this week I would think the 75put would be at .85 if there was strong conviction that we are going to move higher. Good example was last Friday I bought 70$ puts for .90 before the market broke lower. After the market broke lower I sold them for 1.65.. If I would have waited 5minutes longer they were going for 2.20.
Maybe they just price higher for were the market has been?
