I suppose corporate, municipal, treasury, and foreign would be perfect.

Big put buying on SPY today.... looking like some big money is thinking big correction

45,000 Jan 15 $190 Put @ $1.48
~45,000 Jun 15 $163 Put @ $2.63


So someone bet over $11 million that SPY corrects more than 20% in the next 6 months
