When you trade an efp, does it show both legs in your account or just the efp?

Thats a good question. I'm guessing that the IRS would not allow this but that is purely my guess

In relation to this point, I as the following question: When you trade an EFP with IB, is the EFP it's own contract? In other words do you actually buy stock and sell the SSF, or do you just buy and sell the EFP only.

EFP's pulling 5.3% will beat most anything else, even for large accounts

sign up for portfolio margin and this won't be an issue

I've looked into the EFP's a little bit and here's some tax info that may be useful (if it hasn't been mentioned already) 1. All EFP income is considered short term gains and you'll get taxed at your applicable income tax rate. 2. The 60/40 rule does not apple to SSF's. That is one of the...

It will be very interesting to see how this plays out. The two investment parties involved, shareholders and bondholders, seem to be operating independently of each other. I guess I'm just wondering if there's a moneymaking opportunity involved

This matters because he owns controlling interest at 56%. Therefore he can do a lot of stuff that would not be in the interest of the minority shareholders. This is a very unique situation because the stock rose on short term speculation that private equity is in play. The default risk of...

Somebody please explain how the stock price jumps 25%, yet according to bloomberg the credit default swaps soared from 30k to 184k Maybe I'm just stupid, but I would think it would be a good play to short the stock and sell a CDS.

Since the stock price of OSTK doesn't matter, than why should the current shareholders have to foot the bill for the "campaign"?

This thread is about Overstock, their falling stock price, and the reason's behind it. The "campaign" is of no interest to me.

What you're saying here is that the price of overstock is different than what it should be because of "supposid market manipulation". You're also saying that the stock has been sold too much. Therefore you're conclusion is that the price of Overstock is too low because of manipulation. If...

please explain how the price is at a point that it shouldn't be.

so let me get this straight, you're saying that Overstock's current stock price is at $16 because of manipulation?

exactly. that is the first post. it's all about the PRICE OF OSTK

Who would want to take a company private that can't turn a profit and is showing no signs of ever being able?

last i knew, the argument is over why overstock shares are valued at $16. some people like to believe that it's a big conspiracy and that the shares should be higher. this conspiracy also seems to be popular among penny stock investors who get burned by a pump and dump. the company's...

Last I knew overstock was still overvalued at $16 a share. I don't see how any of this "other information" changes that. Something that I don't understand is why some think that Overstock should be compared to Amazon. Amazon is an entirely different business model and is a bad example for...

how is it that there has not been a change of management in this company yet? that just blows me away
