Share Price: $0.80

Min. Investment: $1,000

Valuation: $3.5B

Somebody sold 2,500 contracts of the June $110 calls and bought 2,500 contracts of the June $100 puts for a total cost of 30 cents. The trade is going to lose money if the stock stays above $100 at the June expiration and the loss could be bigger than the premium paid if it trades above $110.

It can make money if IWN drops below $99.70 at the June expiration. Khouw explained that the trader is probably hedging from a potential decline of more than 6% by a week from Friday.
