So is the informed assumption that the FTC WILL NOT sanction the buyout and MSFT will have to walk away? I was thinking of buying ATVI simply due to good earns but no matter how good if MSFT can't buy it then the price will drop large.

I have a few shares of TWTR in my long term account. Do you know how long or what the process will be to have the shares switch over to the cash buyout? (Would I have the money in my account say monday?) I understand TWTR will be halted tomorrow from trading. Thanks for any insights.

about the TWTR deal - I see there is still value in some puts...even the ones exp on friday the 47 puts are .50....are there any strategies to capture the premium...just outright selling the 47 puts? any straddles ideas.... graci.

should i buy MRNA?

You really don't understand the slavic psyche. I'm from that genepool. It makes total sense. Welcome to the world of crazy ivan.

why was MRNA down $10 today if it's a good buy?

the mid term macro game will be over soon. alt supplies of nat gas are being acquired for next spring latest. I'm shorting ngas large long term.

Oh yes; I consider it dumb luck I didn't get shredded on this. And if it wasn't for some good people on this thread I would not have covered during the curb session. Gratis.

Looks like SPX SET is 4258.21 i would have been ok by the skin of my teeth. Again lesson learned. Thank you all. https://www.cboe.com/index_settlement_values/

I definitely learned a lesson. But to be fair - Interactive Brokers posts the contracts as SPX with a date saying AUG 18 - the assumption would be settle based on a price on a completely different date. Even customer support got it wrong when I ask them for clarification.

Ok. I appreciate it. But doing my mental math I would have been nursing a substantial loss. 5 contracts.

But I still don't understand this completely. So tell me now; what strike price did the SPX Aug 18 4255 puts settle at? I cannot pull them up this morning at all. And yet the market is not open. But the SPXW are trading pre-market. How do I see the settlement price of those aug 18 4255s puts (i...

IT wasn't bad - I got filled at mid pretty quick.

thank you. I just closed it on the curb session. Invaluable info . I appreciate it.

Thank you!! So at what time exactly will I not be screwed on this position (with my luck i get a black swan event )? 5pm est? or will i have to wait until mkt price opens on fri aug 19?? I did a credit put position 4255 - so SPX needs to stay under 4255 until when??

I was told SPY was 415pm and SPX 0 dte was 4pm est. My SPX puts is still showing movement on the bid and ask even tho it expires today Aug 18. Wtf? Even the SPX site says 4pm est trade stops on 0 dte.

When does a 0 dte SPX stop trading? I have a contract that exp aug 18 and I thought it closed at 4pm est; but my bid and ask on that contract still showed moving after 4pm. Can you confirm the time SPX closes trading on a contract that expires on the day. thanks ps....its still showing...

everyone and their dog is saying CPI will come in cooler due to the precipitous dunk on oil prices at the pump. Now you have to be a shrink to figure this mad market - but I would think if the number is indeed cool then the market will BOUNCE big.....and then suck them all in. Because...
