What Bin Laden trades? -g- I think buying, say, SPZIT (Sep. 700 SP call) is about the same as buying ULPIX, only you can trade it with relatively narrow spread intraday. Shorting the call is equivalent to buying USPIX with the same advantage of possible intraday trading. I can see an advantage of the call over ULPIX in these volatile markets, these articles about someone investing outrageous amount of money are strange, although, I admit, so was the call volume in SPY - 10K volume for every strike, deep in the money. finance.yahoo.com I admit, THAT IS a Bin Laden trade finance.yahoo.com It can also be classified as Pig trade. I have a few of those in December Puts. Nothing seems unusual. Some folks believe we are going to decline into (at least) a 4-year cycle bottom this Fall, which is normally a decline of 300-400 SP points from the top. The market probably won't drop 200 points in 3 weeks, but you never know. I guess there are folks who bet it will. -g-
