He is somehow right and wrong at the same time. First, who to blame for having a stock with 120%+ short interest to exist? Second, clearing houses can tighten their collateral requirements from members & request (For certain stocks & their options) higher collateral, which eventually gets...

There is no counter party risk if everyone paid for their purchases in full (100%). In that case, the broker should not be worried for his customers. The counter party risk in here is related to who is on the other side of the trade (You buy a fully funded call option and someone else on the...

Would be more logical to issue their own coin on a blockchain and maybe link coin rewards automatically from the blockchain to their sales. There is a coin called Game Credits out there already, but Maybe Gamestop can name it the meme coin or something like this :)

During the financial crises in 2008, everyone wanted to get rid of the Banks & Insurance companies stocks, did brokers suspend selling those names at that time? No, although it was causing a systemic problem in the system. In my opinion, the hedge funds are to blame for such mess. As an...

It's the ego of how can we, the smartest Ivy Leagues who manage Billions be defeated by a bunch of high school droppers & retards playing financial kamikaze? When Bill Ackman lost his Herbalife battle against Icahn and Soros, it was ok because it was sharks against each other, but now it's the...

I guess Bridgewaters might be the ones buying MSTR, RIOT, MARA & the rest of those Bitcoin related stocks, given their indirect exposure to Bitcoin. Just a guess because these stocks are rallying heavily today with almost no significant movement in Bitcoin itself. Disclaimer: I own RIOT & MARA

IB restricted opening option positions in GME since yesterday (That's what this thread is about). AMC options are still fine. It's irrelevant, GME or AMC, both are having the same type of volatility. IV for AMC options at one point today reached 900%. They are now at around 700%. Besides, I am...

I tested to send an AMC buy order, it went through.

This is so pathetic, free markets are thrown out of the window now.

Please tell me more about the anticipated crush in IV and my donations to the spreader to order hookers & booz. And I didn't even trade in size, it was change.

Selling Call spreads is a limited loss, limited profit play. Who wants a limited profit cap in such craziness. Even long puts is a limited profit play, but it's a much better risk/reward.

Well, I did, but not all of it of course

And here it goes, $347.51 close. All the money in the system is covering shorts at the same time.

Are they legally allowed to do so?

Well, of course, please shed some light.

Correct, with such insane volatility, everyone must realize & know that this is a very probable fact.

Oh great. IB is now restricting opening new calls as well. The free market is dead apparently.

Well, now this is not about the business model. It turned into a futures market (Through the mix of stock & options). Losers handing profits to winners until the situation changes. And slowly players are throwing in the towel & getting out of the game.

I agree, but who gave IB the right in the first place. Plus say I want to trade a put combination which is not sensitive to Vega, like a put vertical for example.
