What Happens To Put Options During Bankruptcy?
If you own put options on stocks of a company that has just declared or filed for bankruptcy, you are in for a huge reward. The delivery and settlement of every stock option is guaranteed by the OCC, Options Clearing Corporation, in the US Market. Whoever sold you that right to sell shares of that company at that higher price is obliged to fulfill that obligation, so your profit is guaranteed. The only question is, what happens when that company files for bankruptcy and trading in its stocks and options are suspended? When that happens, trading of that company's stocks and options moves to the Over The Counter (OTC) market or what is known as "Pink Sheet" market where you are able to either sell those put options for a profit or exercise the options and sell the stocks for the same profit. Since it is the company that is going illquid and insolvent and not the person or institution who sold you those put options, you are guaranteed your profit and delivery.



congrats, your really doing great with the options game. :)
