Pffft. I just checked the price on teh QQQ 144.50 puts for Fri expiry. It would have to break below $144 by ..20 just to break even on the 144.50 puts. Too rich for my tastes. I likestuff where you at least have a 50/50 chance of getting a 100% gain. I might still do something if they get "realistic" on the price of a 4 day put. The fact is that they are trying to "sucker" some traders who aint that slick. You'd have to time your entry purt near perfectly...and only I can do that. :-)
