option traders...maybe them, the open interest was only 17,000...so not too many people but it was exciting to witness such a jump in options. goog option players are getting paid today aswell! weather they settly or not this is a game changer for the market...the vix is telling us that...day is still young, but, that might just mean that there are that many more hours to dump what they've got and bank some profits during more uncertain climate of trading now!
