Khouw explained that someone is selling insurance on the S&P 500 and if it drops less than 20 percent until the December 2020 expiration, the trader is going to collect $176 million. He added that there have only been four events in the history where selling puts of that length in time, representing a decline of that amount has really been a dangerous thing to do. These events are the Great Depression, 1970 bear market, the dot-com bubble and the credit crisis.
