    Possible to write/buy options on private company stocks?

    There are essentially zero reporting restrictions unless you are a fiduciary; and even then it matters what you're doing. You can collar against restricted shares as well; contractually cash-settled. Duh.

    Possible to write/buy options on private company stocks?

    Yes, it's done all the time, OTC. You need a lot of capital (i.e., board-level fiduciary) for any bank to bother with you. They will rape you on vol. You're better off trading listed options on a proxy.

    A Non-Correlated Strategy Trading Journal That Shows Profit

    Arguments against the above... the otm call vert would be the revenue side, but it's all gamma.

    Badass life and business tricks.

    A Non-Correlated Strategy Trading Journal That Shows Profit

    The covered call makes more sense. No utility to vert it against the shares. No mention of why inter-mkt. Just dumb. At least the shares x double vertical makes some sense in SPY; in lieu of a synthetic straddle. Essentially an asym-condor with risk on shares.

    Dude, you can replicate the entire penny-position in vol. No need to take the risk in shares. The guy is remedial 099 and three noobs are gushing. He's long 12 shares and received a $22 credit. C'mon. The guy shorted Q-vol against SPY. Why? BC it's so exotic! QQQ +0.71% SPY +0.47% Go, you!

    Bitfinex says they have been scammed for $880 mln

    My DCA is/was <$300. That was my largest add, however. A buddy of mine from ET got me interested. Old threads on here as well when it was trading $12. I didn't buy any under $80, however.
