Thinking along those same lines, I bought a few puts on C this afternoon. <g>

I was surprised by the spread, though ... often only 3-4 cents, whereas I'm used to seeing 10-20 on most big-name stocks. Even saw 1.14 - 1.15 for the Dec 32.5's at one point (missed them, though -- had to pay up a bit -s).

Has anybody else seen this type of thing? Was I just getting a bad data feed, or are some options more equal than others?
