The put options im seeing for 1 year out at $320 currently cost $24,000. (1 contract at 100 shares) what are you looking at that I am not? Am I looking at the wrong thing?
Sounds like you're looking at the right contract. Option contracts are written to give the buyer the right to buy/sell 100 shares. So, the minimum investment for the $320 PUT is ~$24K. Contracts with lower exercise prices will be less expensive, but carry more downside risk.
