Trade wars are good. -the rich guys who have to compete with imports.

Whatever the economic ramifications are, why aren't conservatives incensed that a governmental legislative body is explicitly punishing a company for exercising it's free speech?

And there’s nothing wrong with that.

It probably fits under the same category as cars and jewelry.

Probably a policy for hard to value assets and to ensure information is disseminated fairly.

It makes no sense to exercise before you want to sell. Your two practical options are to hold the options or to exercise and sell. You can collar it but that’s only practical if you have many millions worth of stock and a private bank will fund you.

I modeled some approximation out and I see only $1-2 of time value. If you are to hedge, you probably should just short the stock. If you are going to short the stock, you should only do so if it makes sense from a tax perspective. My suggestion is to exercise and sell some portion of it. It's...

Where are they struck? if they vested in 2011, I would think they would be struck around $10-15

I would either sell or not. Hedging is likely going to cost you and frustrate you.

Yes. Still a 2 year contract with a 50% out clause.

My cost is approx. 2100/month + market data which is another 215/month. There is no tiered service. You get the professional and then you can subscribe to specific data if you want it but the base package is 99% complete.

They will sell to retail. I have my own terminal. It’s very valuable for me because it allows me to leverage my time. With my day job, I couldn’t trade at all if I didn’t have a system like a Bloomberg terminal.

Perhaps that’s where our difference of opinion rests. I (and the OCC in the US) look at the deliverable being consistent with the underlying. Europe (and you) want to see something more fair volatility wise.

I would think the prospectus would be open ended enough to allow them to change the investment strategy of the etf. The only change is that the implied volatility should get cut substantially. That’s no different than a company engaged in a cash takeover and the volatile go to single digits...

Still the arbitrage between the cash and the synthetic isn’t violated.

credit spreads aren't inherently better than naked short options. It depends on your view. if you believe that a stock could selloff so much that you need to buy a deep OTM option, why would sell a less deep OTM option in the first place?

First the income is effectively tax free. (As you spend 30cents a mile but get to deduct 59 cents per mile). Second a lot of the fixed cost is socialized with the drivers personal life (they were already going to own and insure the car). The alternative: taxis are far worse. Fees are also...

For an institution, market data is incredibly cheap considering the value it can create in the right hands. That’s why Bloomberg can charge 30k per terminal and selling 100s of thousands of them.

OP thinks the market overreacted to trumps tariffs and then is surprised the market rallied the next day.
