A lot of people do and run programs to find situations with remaining TV that seems out of sync. You must have caught them at a good time because the last BA was a lot lower. I knew an IT guy back in the early days of options, who wrote a program to seek out those situations. He sold a lot of puts on margin and did really well until one trade went bad over the last few days and wiped out all his profits and then some. If you like the company, it is not a bad strategy. The percent return looks really good but you get $95 per option and what is your risk? I don't follow SHOP and it looks really rich to me. Good luck.
