Kid Rock - my rough estimate is that you could have bought those puts (depending on the month) for about 3/4 to 1. They would now be worth around $25-30. So, you would have made around 30-35X your money, or over $300,000. I may be underestimating how low the premium was on those options prior to the blowup. $10K is a big bet on a wasting asset and I would not have bought my second batch at such an out-of-the-money strike. I'm now up about 7-fold on the first batch bought in January (strike of 75) and about 10-fold on the second batch bought a week ago (strike 175).

Hope you catch the next one.
