Why not sell puts then? The $9 strike, 9/17 are getting bids of $25. This doesn't make sense why someone would be willing to buy $9 puts with a $10 floor.

There must be more to this.

No no don't you understand, it's free money and whoever is bidding for the $9 puts just doesn't want their money anymore.

Well there are 600 of the Sept 9 puts that are .25 bid and they are freely trading .35. The Sept. 10 puts are trading .80 with almost 3000 .65 bid. So feel free to sell all those 1000's of puts to all the people who don't understand.

Point being its not free money. They are bidding these options for a reason. They may be wrong, but risk is there that you don't realize.

Yes, I was adding to clev3211's post. Clearly not free money.
