I wish... If I had that kind of dough, I'd be on Forbes top rich list -g-. Would not waste it setting up bets like that either -g- These articles reflect lack of understanding of options basics. Still, they emphasize on thing, the weird volume in deep ITM call options, which is definitely there. So, SOMEONE with DEEP pockets is doing SOMETHING we don't get. It would make sense to SELL these calls to finance SOMETHING, but the statement that the seller will only make money if the market crashes is definitely wrong - he/she will make money if the market declines by any amount, and if this seller is long SPY as well, he will have his SPY called away at a better price. -g- finance.yahoo.com Actually, if the seller SOLD call options against the BOX, that would be a synthetic SHORT PUT position, which means the seller makes money as long as the market stays ABOVE the strike price, which seems reasonable. -g-
