Is this free money?

  1. I'm surprised to see the Jun $1 puts bid/ask at .90/.95. I figured as far in the money as these are they would be higher.

  2. Why? The underlying is priced at $0.60. There's only 0.40 of intrinsic value.

  3. You're right lol. I guess I was thinking that since the underlying is basically guaranteed to go to 0 that the option would be fully priced once it went in the money.

    Thanks,

  4. I asked customer service at IB how these options would be settled. Based on their response, I sold all but one of the puts. I'm going to let that one ride to see how it settles out.
