In his 13f, the position simply reads SPY Call but does not state what strike/maturity. This would be nice to know, although one can guess that he paid net $1.34 for whatever he bought, I suppose. So that could mean he bought Sept 22 '12 strike 95, or Mar 17 '12 strike 130's, or a cocktail of several.
Bass probably assumes the fat tail is underpriced, as he is a big Rogoff guy. So did he go way out of the money and give himself a ton of time? The size of this position is 75% of his net assets, so if he is wrong, he will be wiped off the face of the planet. Does he think Japan catalyzes this crash? Or Europe?
