Anyone who traded puts today...

...must have the orgasm of his/her lifetime. Look at the stats:

Strike---Low---High---Percentage difference

440--45.00--2.55--1,764%
430--34.90--0.40--8,725%
420--25.00--0.05--50,000%
410--15.30--0.05--30,600%
400--5.00--0.05--10,000%

Those numbers are simply un-fucking-real. Had you bought the 420 put at the beginning of the day for $0.05 and held on to in until the end of the day, you'd still get $20.80 for the contract. $1,000 would have bought you 200 contracts at the beginning of the day, excluding commissions (on Ameritrade that would be $160.99 in commissions). At the end of the day, those $1,000 would have turned into $416,000 (!). At the high of $25 for the contract, the value of the 200 contracts would have been $500,000 (!!!).

$1,000 could have made you half a million dollars. This is the most unreal shit I've ever seen here. Wow. Just wow.
