So who bought BSC 30 puts at 15 cents on WED
- Thread starter stock777
- Start date
The way I've been trading lately I'm surprised I didn't write those puts.
How come no one admits to loosing on these boards? Surely I'm not the only one who took a shot this year...
Anyway I hope some of you were on the right side of that mess. Would have made about 2000% in one day if timed right.
Anyone going to get in on the LEH repeat?

Most likely the same participants that stopped accepting Bear as a counterparty forcing them into a liquidity crisis. BCS has never been forgotten for not coming to the table in the LTCM bailout and has reaped what it sowed.
I had a strangle on LEH, fortunately, in anticipation of their earnings Tue morning. I figured there'd be fireworks.
Sat down for my lunch at work, opened up my account, and said "Holy "sh*t". Believe it or not, both legs were in the green, but of course the down was green by a considerably larger margin. Then looked up the news and said it again.
If LEH turns out to be a repeat of BSC, well, I'll be happy.

My first option writing loss this year was selling 20 BSC March 25 puts @ .33 average on Thurs.
Small position I immediately closed for a 2500.00 loss the next day. Usually I never trade naked selling on stocks but took the pure gamble and lost. I'm kinda glad it happened because I've been having the best win streak I ever had and started getting that "I can't lose" feeling. This brought me back to reality.
