    Did shorts get squeezed this afternoon by Carvana??

    What the Motley Fool said... They restructured (or were forced to) their debt. I am wondering if the lenders on the other side, bought some options knowing there would/could be a squeeze?? Inquiring minds want to know??? On the surface, (NYSE: CVNA) looks like it had a spectacular turnaround...

    My bond strategy...Does this make sense??

    Sticky inflation (or whatever you want to call it), I don't buy it. We know the debt...We know we can not grow our way out of the Fed mess. We also know that China is stepping back from buying US bonds (as we are stepping back from buying junk products from China)... What I have chosen to do...

    So I profited 820 dollars on a deep ITM options spread and received this email from Tastytrade

    From Reddit...3 years ago. Just a sample...But they are there dude. $75. from Robinhood. I am not crazy... Most new brokers will refund the transfer fee...But it has to be a good amount of money to get it done. Also, if the OP tried that, I think it would be a no go from the start... PSA...

    So I profited 820 dollars on a deep ITM options spread and received this email from Tastytrade

    Poopy, you made me read the whole thread a second time...Very boring. Just to be sure...No, exit fees were not mentioned once!!
