adc - large put volumes. As I already posted, this could be a misprint. I have it hard to imagine a naked position of that amount. Expecting some kind of a short term strategy here. Also, don't get fooled with volumes: - there are some strikes on MSFT with 150k open/interest. Closing 30k of them is no big deal. - big volumes can also result from spreads. A put spread has two legs: twice the volume, one long plus one short. Also only valued at the difference in premiums. I suspect a speculative spread, but as said, can' sent a trace.
