What do you think of short term in the money December puts on the QQQs. I tend to believe we have at least a 0.5% drop in the QQQs in the final 1/2 hour due to rebalancing.
I read that last year it was about 1% drop. I am looking to buy in the last hour for a quick trade.
This would be an even better setup if the market climbs a little more going into 3pm.

The other factor that makes me interested in the puts is that I don't believe the pop in the markets this week was basically short covering since money flowed out big from mutual funds this week.
