If your broker is happy to do this for you, you can ask them to create a strike, if you wanna trade it... So the answer is that the mkt decides...

Lots of nemesi (?) for Ackman in this HLF... Hempton, Icahn, Loeb, at one point.

This guy sounds like a bit of a douchebag (I think I may have mentioned it in the past)...
