There's Some HUGE Put Buying & Bid Sizes In March Silver Today

Especially the 12, 15, 17, 19, 20, & 24 strikes.
If you can believe it, the '12's went for as much as .009 & the '15's went for up to .020!
Any thoughts?

Gold has a world price entirely unaffected by accounting games between the Treasury and the Fed. - Jim Rickards
I'd also like to think that those with bigger physical positions would be hedging here as well and that would contribute to the net short numbers. I know I am.
I would also want to take a look at all the spread trades and how they are laid out
It's actually nice to see some bearish bets/sentiment come back in the market . It's hard to go up without it
Thanks for the heads up although it probably means very little as predictive measure although lower silver prices would be welcomed by most.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

How true...
We need more like this:
The Taurus Fund Management Pty sold all of the silver holdings from its $200 million precious metals portfolio, citing the fact that, in its view, “[silver] simply went up too much in too short a period.”

Just because those strike prices traded doesnt mean the buyer thinks silver is going to those levels. For example, if silver goes to 22, those 12s might trade for 4-5c. Thats a 300-400% gain.
FWIW--I frequently sell deep out of the money calls and puts, for as MJ stated, these almost always expire worthless.
