JPM PUTS Do The Salsa

salsa1

If you thought your Cinco De Mayo was wild take a look at the options for J.P. Morgan Chase this week.   JPM came out with some very bad news after the close on Thursday, but it was great news for JPM put holders.  They were doing the Salsa all the way to the bank today.

JPM's 9% decline was a nice return for those short the stock, but for those who played JPM downside via PUTs....paydirt.  Some unbelievable gains for those positioned for a big decline.

The JPM options that expired this week:

$38 puts from $.02 to $1.37  or $200 into $13,700

$39 puts from $.02 to $2.17 or $200 into $21,700

$40 puts from $.09 to $3.20 or $90 into $3,200

 

Even a $20 buy of the $38 puts would have turned into $1,370.   That will pay for some great dance lessons.

  1. Maybe JPM should have been holding some $38 puts on themselves before telling everyone what suckass traders they are.  Or maybe they were….?

  2. Gee let’s continue to rain  free money down to the banksters – they are doing such great things with it to help rebuild the economy they blew up in 2008.

    Oh yeah also let’s continue to demonize  the small handful of homeowners who recently received principal reduction from crappy mortgages they  signed up for at the height of the bankster fraud.
