One thing for sure is if I was on the other side of that spread with a debit of $980 for something that will be worth between $0 and $1000 in two years, I would have that hedged somehow.

Interesting way to look at it. Somebody is on the other side (the specialist firms?), and it looks like a very bad trade from that perspective, unless there is more to it. This trade as a bull put spread seems too good to be true.

And you know what they say about something that seems too good to be true. But I still haven't figured out how I'm going to get screwed on this.

Can anyone else see where the potential pitfall might lie?

TIA
