Jdsu had the following actions on Friday: 1,000 Jan(02)-50 puts at $37.80 premium 600 Jan(02)-60 puts at $47.80 600 Jan(02)-70 puts at $57.80 1,000 Jan(03)-100 puts at $87.80 So, I am thinking that some hedge funds with large short positions were selling the puts. That can be some win-win positions coz they can use the "free cash" from both shorting and the writting. But how about the other-side of those option trades, who was buying them? Any thoughts? Inputs from anyone? thanks!!
