Boeing Jan 2020 300 PUT is trading at massive $11.80. If you are okay with owning 100 shares of Boeing at $300, just sell this 1 of this PUT. You get paid $1180.

huh? how does this work?

now the price of BA is 372 leh.

if the price remains the same, you lose 7200 - 1180 ??

If you sell 1 BA 300 PUT and at the time of expiry if BA price > 300, you keep the entire premium that you received when you sold the PUT. So earn 1180. At the time of expiry if BA<300, then you have to buy BA at 300, no matter how low it goes, you still have to buy at 300. Your cost is 300-11.8. Then you are tied to the fate of BA.

If it goes to 0, then the max possible loss is 300-11.8*100 for every PUT sold.

This is a more detailed article which covered more angles.
https://www.aviationcv.com/aviation-blog/2019/shocking-facts-boeing-737max-crash

Normally, aircraft design has more redundancy built into the design. In the 737 Max, there are 2 AOA sensors but MCAS only use 1. Customers need to pay extra to wire up the 2nd sensor(soft and hardware options). Just imagine buying a car that does not come with seat belt at the back, customers will need to pay for it. :s22:

Everything is faithed. A jump-seat pilot saved the Lion Air earlier flight.
