I'm tearing my hair out... futures are green... and the whole effing country is on pause!!! :banghead:

Ah ok that helps. I thought that auto-close meant auto-settle in ca$h. They actually deliver the shares. It's not like oil or gold; no, they will not drive up to your house with an armored truck with bullion or tanker with oil. I'm still not sure if I can let an ITM option expire--with neither...

Ah! So 5g causes CV... it all makes sense now. --- Bogus conspiracy theories linking the global COVID-19 outbreak to the rollout of 5G has lead to phone masts in the UK being set alight. The BBC reports that cellular towers in Birmingham, Liverpool and Melling in Merseyside were set alight...

Right; this is the "Rational" decision--and what I have always done--bank the profit. Briefly, this question is really more about the notion of a rational market. In today's CV market, with businesses shut down everywhere, a rational market would be in freefall, as cash flows dry up, right...

THANK YOU. glad that someone actually read the question, understood what I was asking, and didn't bash me about tax law.

The rational decision for an ITM contract at expiry is to bank the profit. That is why brokers auto-execute and deposit. The question has nothing to do with marginal tax rates or coronavirus. It's whether I have choice about auto close and deposit.

This is not a tax question... that was just an illustrative example. It is a question about options: can auto execution and deposit be prevented?

Yes... but that's not the point. It's an illustrative example. This is the point. Can auto-execution be prevented?

Is it possible to NOT exercise an in-the-money option at expiry? Why? this is an IRRATIONAL decision, right? Well for two reasons: 1. In some situations, it makes sense; for example, say, I bought an INTC call at USD50.00 that expire on April 17th. The price has gone up to USD$55, and I thus...

I have this version, with a couple mods after getting whipsawed last month.

He didn't talk about the "Jerome Juggernaut."

Yes just tinkering, thanks.

Heya Peeps, Apologies for the n00b question... what is the easiest wallet for those looking to get started with bitcoin? - I have an iPhone, but my friends have Android. - I'd also like to send/receive via PC or Mac. - I installed Coinbase, and bought USD200 of bitcoin, but and it's giving me...

We will all be judged for years to come on how we trade during this event. This market is presenting some extraordinary opportunity. I'm throwing the kitchen sink at this market--anything I can think of to drain cash out. The trip back to our "new normal" will be just as volatile--assuming, of...

Nice. I'm hammering out my new trading algo. I'm calling it "whipsnake," designed to leverage the volatility in this whipsaw market.

First time since March 10th. Are we starting to calm down a bit?

So... what's your point? That's about USD1600... market price in USD. Is there some significance to the price in Rands?
