ild, RE: Amazing fact: Jan INTC puts are extremely cheap.

Actually, I cannot recall a time pre earnings when INTC puts have ever been this expensive.

At the money puts one month out have a volatility in excess of 73. Normal prior to earnings is closer to 65. As far as the Jan puts you're looking at, at the money puts have a volatility over 100. That's YHOO like volatility priced in.

What's the basis for your thought that the Jan puts are cheap?

It looks to me like a lot of people have hedged their risk.
