Tuck,

Bummer, but it's cool, this is actually good for you. If it hangs under 12.5, you can let those premies earn money in your account while the time value decays..:) It might not be worth buying the puts now that the stock has dropped, but I would put a fair order in, it is moving all over the place, fluctuating in 15-20% range. You may get lucky and get them at a price you like, and later sell them on a dip. You possible undermine your position if you pay too much, so weigh it carefully. It looks like it is rebounding now (20 min delayed), you might get the put if you're lucky. Even sell it later today on a profit the way the baby is grooving and shaking..:) Good luck, this one is too wild for me, I like more predictable stocks to play options with...must be making you sweat though...

Ryan

Tuck...you said you put in an order for puts "last night".

do you trade puts and calls after trading hours??

Anyone on the thread want to comment on this.??

I've learned somewhere that the MMs have their most predatory times eating your bid-ask lunch immediately after the opening bell...and just before closing.
