    About 5000 openings on Linkedin for the area now. Obviously many are worthless or something that isn't right. Lot's are head hunter fishing. That is why I prefer Bloomberg - less bullshit and you can set your own filters.

    It's a prepackaged bankruptcy. Terms are out. New equity is going to the debt holders. It appears it will be in OCC's hands.

    So a lot would depend on the automation of the shop. Most big shops will have specific asset class desk. Particularly difficult to get hired as an assistant to PM, but lot's of folks enter as a desk person - trading for the PMs. Anywhere near Foster City? There is a gem of a firm there...

    Why would you buy ETFs that don't pay dividends vs LEAPs?

    I understood the comment. The financing rate is embedded in the option price and as I mentioned it's superior to any rate I - as a user can finance at. Therefore the option is almost always superior as long as I'm willing to pay for the hedge of the embedded put. Plus opportunity cost isn't...

    Why would you buy ETFs that don't pay dividends vs LEAPs?

    Not a lot to do with OCC. It's a comparison of the swap rate embedded in the option and that's a pricing issue - as opposed to what you could have earned on the money if you hadn't bought the stock. Let's say you buy a non-dividend paying stock and hold it for two years and it doesn't move...
