People who traded during 9/11...what happened to weekly options that week the market was shut?

I remember the market was shut for an entire week, but I wonder what happened to the weeklies that expired that week. Like if you had puts that week and were set to make a killing, did they just kill your options and let them expire without giving you a chance to get out? or did they extend all options a week?

 

Moron, there weren't any weekly options.

 

Google says CBOE introduced weeklies in 2005

 

Yeah, no weeklies back then, But I did have on some SPX call diags that kicked my a$$.

 

Hmm...so i wonder what would happen if another 9/11 happened.

 

Call holders got f$ucked

Still haunts me to this day and why I sell hope instead of buy it

 

%%
Even if they were in existence + sounds like they were not;
you think they would open a closed exchange just for put buyers/sellers?? I think not.....................................................................................................I also remember that was pretty much the bottom; slippage would have been a real killer

 

What are you expecting ?? WW3 ?? another mass terrorist attack ??

 

SEC mandated new backup and remote operation rules. You just saw them operate during the recent floor closings.

 

lmao
