Just give me the strike and expiration. I'll figure out the rest.

I have more information then what I probably legally am allowed to say. I wish I knew what to do with it quite frankly

Since you work for one of them, you probably can't buy puts on that information but couldn't you buy puts in a related company? I assume if one of them is in trouble, they all will be to some extent.

Someone mentioned a RE related company that was going to lay off a bunch of people but since they worked for them, couldn't publicly say who. I DM'ed them and was told the company but it was already pretty beaten down so didn't do anything with that info. It has fallen 60% since that message. Oof.

One of the mentioned companies will be starting those layoffs this quarter as well and probably not the one mentioned to you
