Someone Just Bet $14 Million Against the Last Chip Stock Standing

The memory-chip sector just lost more than a trillion dollars in about two weeks, and somebody placed a 14.1 million dollar put bet on Micron, the name that held up the best. That's the twist: instead of shorting an already-broken stock, they're betting the survivor still has room to fall. The put was bought in the final minute, and it doesn't even own Micron's earnings, it owns the SK Hynix report on October 28th.
