Bruce, in real life you wouldn't have gotten a very good execution on the puts as they are thinly traded. When the market is moving fast, as it was this AM, your market order would have probably sat un-filled till the stock stabilized at 10, and then you would have been filled at a bad price and taken a nice loss. Plays like this may make money on paper, but in real life it wouldn't have worked.
