WLD and mish, help me out here on the HI PUTS, OK? re: <<yeah, but for them to sell that many puts somebody has to be willing to buy that many puts.>> and <<how do you know they were sold (as naked PUTS)>> True that if they were traded, someone had to sell and someone had to buy and if someone just wrote them (naked) and not traded they would have just shown up as open interest. Is this right? In any case, maybe I'm just looking for a conspiracy, but when I notice a big spike in a particular strike that has been rather benign it just gets my attention. I'm I just striking out at windmills? Appreciate your help, Bill/WA
