One options contract is for 100 shares at the strike price, so it is really $950,000.
While this cuts down the number of players who can make that bet, it is not as exclusive a club as the authors think. And for a lot of people, and hedge funds, this is nothing but pocket change.
The absolute truth about 99% of all financial writing is that the people who write it get paid by the column-inch to churn it out. So no matter how bad the drivel written might be, the authors don't get paid if they don't write it.
There were some puts (negative bets) on airline stocks bought before 9-11 that raised some eyebrows. I don’t think the purchasers ever collected their winnings
They are going to get burned. A massive rally is in store.
pass me whatever your smoking.

If held until expiration it would be roughly 750/1 on a crash?
If that is accurate, it seems really short.

It’s $950,000
That was one person. Many other trades are doing the same.
If nothing else, it should beg the question as to why a huge position can be placed on a “bet” in the stock market that wagers the economy will fail without a name associated with it. You make a huge bet that the market will fail, you should at least be named and have a chance for the market to know who you are before it happens. Is it Soros? Is it China? Is it Putin? Is it some stripper who just did a line off Hunter’s left buttcheek?
Deep diving researchers can make some very clever insights into these types of stake claims, but really it shouldn’t need deep analysis. Big claims should have names attached to them. People, brokerage houses, accounts, etc...
9/11 terrorists made millions on the stock market
Sorros?
The return of Trump.
Spot on!

It doesn’t take a soothsayer to figure out that the markets are collapsing.
Everything was royally screwed up in 2016 when President Trump pulled us back from the brink with some common sense America-first policy.
But even with eight years of sanity under President Trump - saving the Republic was always going to be a long shot. The swamp is to vast and the debt is too huge.
They’ve printed too much fake money and pissed away too much of our manufacturing base. They’ve brainwashed far too many people.
Then they outright stole a presidential election and that was it.
There’s no saving us now.
You make a huge bet that the market will fail, you should at least be named and have a chance for the market to know who you are before it happens.It's become a mantra that's plastered all over the news every single day...It's simply "the market".
The market, the market, the market, the market, the market.
“They are going to get burned. A massive rally is in store.”
I think so too. The market has been flooded with an endless stream of bad news. It is so ripe for a move up, that it doesn’t need good news to move up, just a pause of the bad news would be enough.
“If nothing else, it should beg the question as to why a huge position can be placed on a “bet” in the stock market that wagers the economy will fail without a name associated with it.”
Betting $950000 in the market is peanuts. Everyday half a trillion dollars are traded.
That’s about as likely as her visiting the border in Brownsville or McAllen Tx
Where the hell is Beeks?
Is that what used to be called the “plunge protection scheme?” Or kind of a reverse pump and dump?
Who is big enough to manipulate the markets like today?
