I had a sell short order last week that I did not execute on the final confirmation screen. Because of the high-flying volatility on this pig I did not want to tie up 62K in capital and get a margin call. I do not have an account that allows options( Schwab sent me the form) but was going to do 90 puts.

How much money would I have made from last Monday to today had I bought 10K in 90 puts?

(If my terminology is wrong you can understand why I did not pull the trigger on this)

Turs, a discredited SW firm gets NO multiple of
sales, as you pointed out all of the numbers can be
cooked. Equity swaps are a hallowed form of currency,
however, and many fortunes are riding on them, so there
will probably be a vigorous defense in a few days.
