Gotta love ZERO RISK in the SP500 = $$$

Quote from S2007S:

if they get it right they will make more money in a week than most bulls made in the last 6 months.

Rofl like striking the lottery? Sorry but the chances of that happening before they turn insolvent is extremely remote.

Besides, a crash is not going to be played out in one day, a good trader should be able to capture a good 60% of the down move anyway.

Attempting to capture the first/last 8th of a move is very costly, I learned that the hard way when I was a newb.
 
It's not like the more sophisticated (large) index put buyers are trying to catch a down move. They are hedging long exposure that's all. Once you sit on a 7% gain for the year it's prudent to lock in the performance with some SPY/IWM puts while the market looks vulnerable.

Straddle would maybe work here due to volatility. The SPooz are sitting barely above 1500...could have an interesting finish to the week.

Breadth F***ing blew as usual too...this market has more problems than the indices are putting on the table. :D
