Investigation into leaks? How come CNBC had all these headlines about what was in the document before it came out? I wish I had that info prior to release, could have made a bundle in after hours. That would be hilarious to see a gap down get immediatly filled, and then a panic to buy as investors see it ain't tanking! I doubt it, but it would be fun. Plus remember all the huge blocks of puts, seldom do you see that type of one sided speculation get rewarded (maybe they had info from the same "sources" as CNBC who had all the goods prior to release). Market Makers need to find a way to screw all the putholders out of that speculative capital. I'll say the judge was at least merciful to do this on a Friday, so that there can be a thorough analysis done over the weekend. Anyways, it ain't over until the fat lady sings, and she sings for a lot of options holders on November 17.
