On october 19 1987 the stock market as measured by the dow

Nevertheless, some traders made a profit buying call options on the stock index and then liquidating their positions before the market closed. Explain how this is possible assuming that it was not a case of the traders taking advantage of spurious upward ticks in stock prices.
