The SEC would like to have a word with you about issuing a security :)

129,218 x 30,000...that still looks like 3.8B to me and their valuation is 2.6B If you argue like that, it's a strong buy. Who gives a fk about his core business when all he does is buying BTC right now

yeah, but the sales commission goes to sales, not the book. So if you are offering these as a book runner, you cannot count on the commission to cover your risk. Your profit comes from selling above par

are you talking about these Booster NPPNs? I find it interesting that these were offered with downside protection. I mean, these are really easy to replicate if you add a put on it. But I wonder how they were able to offer downside protection, because that would mean short gamma for...

are you short yet?

guys...calm down. The loan is for 205 million and they have about 5billion worth of BTC right now. Yes, at 21k MSTR will be called for additional margin, so what. He just posts an additional 200 BTC as margin. MSTRs liquidation price is around 3.5k. I hope a lot of people are shorting MSTR...

could you shed a bit more light onto these? I never did structured products outside the EU and only traded those that I could find a replication by myself (e.g. options and NDFs). For me the biggest problem always was that the bank would cancel the trade once they figured they had mispriced the...

yes, via options...not dispersion, though

Have a look at Dorman Trading. Probably the best shop for futures traders. Not quite the frontend selection of AMP but it's a family business and they really know how to deal with traders. Used them a couple of years ago before I went direct access and they were insanely professional.

I feel like you should really get deeper into options. Playing these kind of scenarios you described are perfect for them, not just because you limit your risk but also because you can tailor your risk profile to expectations. There are so many more possibilities and so many more anomalies on...

A guy named sweetmaryjane69 inquires whether he should learn price action, orderflow or DOM to trade against the smartest guys in the worlds most efficient instruments. What can go wrong?

nah...that's just plain stupid, if you don't know how term structure and spot/vol correlation trades. In quiet markets you sell a cheap put, buy expensive calls and have excessive downside risk. In markets like now, you buy elevated calls and sell fair priced puts and you'll get rekt as soon as...

ok, let's get some facts straight. You're the typical retail trader who buys options for leverage. Nothing wrong with that, but I bet you haven't ever looked at the price of options opposed to the underlying volatility. Instead you make a price prediction, buy the option and hope your...

simple: vertical spreads

especially brain power

the plebs are catching up...

Cut out the middle men, that's what it is about. The haters will buy/trade structured products along the way.

In case of BTC I wouldn't call it ATM fees and rather compare it to Western Union without the hassles. For other chains you pay fees when you want to run a smart contract, so the use case is slightly different. Once you get past the lingo, things are actually pretty easy to understand. It's a...

Well, if you understand why blockchain will (is supposed) change the world then you're halfway there with regards to understanding the narrative: In simple terms, a blockchain is a decentralized ledger where transactions are verified by a whole bunch of people. These people don't work for free...
