Interesting seeing that Heinz-Soros connection pop up. Of course, that has nothing to do with politics.....

umm, if he's long 10,000 puts, it's cause he's bearish on the stock -- if that's his only position in it.

The left always eats its dead.

You can also see the connection pop up because they both along with other well know Dem's belong to the Tides Foundation..You know the origination that supports terrorist groups..If you don't believe me then bring up Tides and its supporters..Although maybe since me and some others went there and posted on it they might have taken all of it down..Dem's have a way of making things disappear..

Perhaps he is also long 1 MM (or some other number of) the common, in which case the two positions form a hedge or a partial hedge. Why does it matter?

Inspite of his politics, Soros is no dummy in this arena.

Isn't each put a contract for one hundred shares? That would be ten million shares. I can't see Soros being interested in one hundred thousand shares of anything.

Why would it? Theresa Heinz has no say in the day to day operation of the company. Also as far a stockholders I don't think she even ranks.

I don't see a story here other than someone buying stock.
