I was thinking about this last night...is it possible that the government decides to close the markets for a period of time?
This has happened in the past, most recently 9/11. After 9/11, the markets were closed for about a week.
I'm sitting on a bunch of puts expiring 4/17 and 5/15. If the market were to close, beyond these dates (unlikely?), then I'm assuming that they would lose a ton of value? And what happens if the markets open post expiration? Would there be a chance to do anything with the options?
