Think of that leverage. .10c -> 27.00. Buy a few hundred of those and retire -- don't need any of the wear and tear of these mkts. One can dream...
I have a few April 490/500 verticals that I never closed (bought around 3.00), and saw that 500 side hit .10c today. Put my bid in right after to close my short at 500 at .10 (missed it though), and it went back to .60c quickly. Wonder what caused that aberration.
Imagine had I just ponied up the .60c, x2 I would've been $5500 richer.
Lesson: in long verticals, if the short side gets under a buck, don't be cheap if you still sit in front of a big event.
Get over it, the price was there four a short period anyhowd.
