Check the volume on the April 32.5 puts. CBOE and Fidelity indicate 1,719 contracts so far today. If correct, that is very, very heavy. Maybe somebody is long and is selling a truckload betting we've seen the low (although the price is up even relative to today's decline); or maybe somebody thinks the stock and/or the market is going to crack. DJIA 200-day moving avg was over 10 percent yesterday. The last time we were in the 10%s was October 14.
