Stock market tumble draws bargain hunters

Some traders took advantage of Tuesday’s massive selloff in the U.S. stock market to go bottom fishing in stocks and options in hopes of picking up cheap upside bets on a quick market rebound.

Others, however, decided to pick up dimes in front of the proverbial bulldozer as markets sold off, though expectations of a more aggressive Federal Reserve have dampened hopes of a significant market rebound any time soon. These ranged from calls betting on the SPY shares rebounding to $380 to those looking for a move up to $405 by the end of Wednesday’s session. On Wednesday, with SPY shares about flat on the day at around $393, the trend continued with 0.7 SPY calls traded for every put.
