Why does it all have to be the leak?
I bought LEH calls on Wed morning purely based on the selloff being overdone. At some point, all the bad news is priced in. That's what the market does.
I had to bite my nails hard for about an hour on Thursday, but after that it was party time.
I had looked at the open interest and figured LEH would probably go out Friday afternoon close to 60. Actual close was 58.11. I'll take it.
I'm sure similar things were happening in the other financials.
