Most anti virus software is like google. You are the product.

easy. You put an order in for 2600 contracts. It was only 20k premium. Not worth the time for any institutional trader especially with the risk of being caught and their career being forever ruined. it could have been a hedge. The SEC will likely find out.

I bet it is retail and it’s someone on the inside for whom 100k is a lot of money.

Point of the thread is that he made a mistake and traded a low volume stock and it blew through his stop as a result. It’s not about his financial loss.

says the guy who starts repeated threads to post 1 lots.

they like long vol.

Mllenium doesn’t like vol sellers, especially put sellers who earn a significant amount of their profit from leverage.

they were coming down from late dec to 12/31 across the board. They jumped on the rally yesterday with the shorter terms moving up more than the longer terms (as would be expected)

I don’t think you can generate cheap lottery tickets by legging into straddles. If you could, then you should just trade the corresponding delta. It would be a grind but you could make a living doing it. I agree that Tesla is one crazy stock. perhaps you will be able buy that netjets...

Everytime i have this thought, life gets real exciting. if you are doing what you do, that's never a good thing.

Example of You talking out of your ass. Perhaps you should spend your time reading this forum. There are a lot of great posts about options instead of validating dunning-Kruegers theories.

why won’t you admit you had no clue what you are talking about? I corrected your mistake about the earnings and you continued to argue with me about it bro.

you got the earnings release wrong. You got the valuation of the options wrong. And you didn’t even try to answer his question. you keep saying you only got the timing of his trade wrong as if that is even relevant.

you were denigrating his trade when his question had nothing to do with the rationale of the position and then you got virtually every aspect of the situation wrong: earnings, timing, and vol level. You were trying to show off your smarts and you turn out to be the dumbest guy in the thread.

Why would i hide a fact in a post made by someone else? It doesn't matter why or if the call was expensive. What mattered is that he didn't understand why he made money. You weren't very nice to the OP while being off topic and wrong in your statements.

You should bang a 22 year old asian. That's what Woody Allen would do.
