Jill, During this fire sale on Q, thought I'd sell a few Feb puts. The Feb 125's are going for around 12, and the Feb 30's at around 15. Any opinion about which would be the better play? (Or whether lower strikes are a better bet?) JB

I'm seeing spurts where the bids will go by at 100, 186, 486, 586 (in thousands) the ask will sit there at 10, or 1, and the price doesn't budge. Whenever I've seen that kind of imbalance on the buy side, the price shoots up. So far today, I've seen the price move up a few dollars, then the waves of askers come out--but it looks to be that there's more buyers than sellers. Wonder if anyone knows if there anyway to check ratio of buyers to sellers at a given point during the day?
