I'm seeing option prices 5-15x overpriced.
If you like DISNEY as an example, the stock is around $84.75 right now.
The $80 strike price put for expiration this Friday is $2.75.
So you would collect $2.75 or $275 for 1 PUT and if Disney drops enough your net cost would be $80-$2.75 or $77.75
That's $7 less than today and a big move needed from these low levels.
Yeah I can’t imagine what option premiums are doing. Christ.

LOL. Is that big enough they have to do an SEC filing? [Reply]
Wheat is moving up pretty hard. I don’t know what the market is trading on, but if you’re tired of beating your head against the wall on stocks, a contract or two (or call if you’d rather) might suit you a little better.
I spread my hedges last week, so I’m in (or out of my hedges). [Reply]
I have mentioned in here a few times that I have a huge chunk of cash sitting in a savings account. I am going to risk it and invest in some things in the next couple of days I believe. This was money we got from the sale of our house that we were going to use to buy our next house. I just don't believe the risk is greater than the reward at this point. We are doing fine without a house and can sit for a while without it. I think there are several stock that are going to rubber band back after this all clears up which I feel is coming sooner rather than later. [Reply]

Well...cruise lines of course. They would skyrocket 1,000 percent to where they were when I bought them. Or most likely 10 percent less than that amount since there's now some awareness of vulnerability. [Reply]

People are going to think twice about cruises for a while.
I honestly don't understand why all the Noro outbreaks didn't really do any damage. [Reply]

The cruise lines are definitely on my radar but I am also a little leery just for what you mention. I still think it may be worth putting some money in one or two of them. [Reply]

Could just do SPY for once the market bounces back. Risking it on one stock isn’t always easy. [Reply]
