OT BWAC Further it gets away from the strike price, the less people are willing to pay for time value. Seems you are right. Right now there is $6.10 in intrinsic value in those 2 month deep in the money puts, so the time value is only about $0.55. So if puts don't provide much protection from a substantial price decline, how are you supposed to make money on them, and how did your 2k paper profit on a closely watched ST position get away from you? I have never bought puts, so I am just trying to get a better understanding of the potential and the pitfalls. Sorry it cost you. Sam
