  1. Correct, but it's a debit position.

    Shows how much I know. Bidding for a few, but it's going to be tough to fill.

    Or today. 4.65 mid. Now that's a trade. Of course I didn't get filled.

    How about a Sep/Oct 35/40 diag if you want to play a bounce

    EDIT: Never mind. It was a 0.50 debit when I posted, now 2.25. Options in this stock are crazy.

  4. Third halt of the day right now...the others were curbs I believe but this one news pending. Could make a big move coming out of this one.

    Daal, thanks for the look.

    I sold some Oct 30 puts small size.

    I think this is 15 or 40 and probably a 40.
    Not a lot of analysis here though other than other insurance companies consider the treatment to be important and it's been practiced for 60 years.

    Long-term this stock is worth very little, certainly single digits. Short-term though, could bounce a lot. One thing that I learned is that no matter how bad the news is there always people that think there is a bargain there, specially for a stock with 7 forward PE and the analysts are defending

    Why do you say that?

    I don't know a lot of about this company; but I was working on the assumption that the price on Thursday (these docs apparently came out over the weekend) was a good reflection of the prospects of the company.

    EDIT: trades at 6x (trailing) sales right as of today...
