William, Is it possible that Cramer "knows" that Vinik is trying to get out or half way out?? I say it's possible! p.s. per CBOE options table, if Cramer bought 500 Oct 115 contracts @$10 premium, that's half a million.

Cramer is probably trying to recover from the Cendant disaster? I think Cramer is making the double mistake of taking a high-profile short position when he has a fledgling reputation at stake, and has rivals probably now itching to run him in. "Hey world, this is Cramer, budding cyber-threat to Dow Jones, and I've just bet my reputation shorting the strongest stock in America based on a weakening competitor's financing play!" Bad form Cramer.
