Which company will fail? SNOW? Thank you for the response but it doesn't really address my question, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. Why is the data faulty in the first place? These are relatively static metrics that don't change much from month to month, if at all. It's not like I'm asking why...

Does anybody have a reasonable explanation for the frequent inconsistency of data across different providers, and advice on how to reconcile the differences? Here is just one example (of many) from a high profile stock. For this case, I will specifically be looking at float, shares outstanding...

Thank you both for the replies, and apologies for asking it in the wrong section. If I could move the thread I would. Since the damage is already done, I'd like to ask a follow-up, if I may.. How late can the regular tape close? Is it always in the last 5 minutes or so? Or can it be much later...

At 4pm, the S&P, Nasdaq, Dow, Russell etc all have a price they "close" at. Sometimes this price is adjusted (usually by a few cents if at all). Anybody know what causes this adjustment? Is there a certain time this adjustment usually takes place? Is there a reliable source for the official...

As I said since post #1, I took no position. But if I had, I would have legged into long puts after the skyrocket. I know, easy to say in retrospect, but wasn't it the obvious trade?

Expiration next week, this trade has become profitable.

Anybody know of a way to see for sure if the trade was a buy or a write? Analyzing T&S isn't too helpful in my experience, as the fills are often at the mid, and even if it's right at the bid or ask, there's no guarantee there either (it's pretty common for your buy orders to get filled at the...

PM your strategy to me. If it succeeds in the rigorous backtesting I put it through, I will happily fund this venture. Any member on this board would do the same I presume. But I suspect you will be too guarded over your secret sauce to ever allow yourself to share your strategy, and that's why...

Yes, this would have been a very ugly trade, and does emphasize the importance of those wings, even when you don't foresee the need. As I said, I didn't take any position, though I'm sure we're all kicking ourselves now for not taking a tremendously bullish position yesterday when we were...

30, wow. Wonder how many folks inside the administration stocked up just before the announcement.

Yes, should be interesting to watch for sure. Fidelity doesn't offer short data for some reason, and Yahoo only updates every 2 weeks as you stated. Where do you find accurate (preferably up to date) short data? I remember once getting the data straight from FINRA (short volume), but even those...

Thanks for requesting clarification, I too would appreciate some more detail

My first instinct was that it's a short squeeze too. But then I checked, it looks like only 1.7m short vs 22m float, which is under 10% (according to yahoo, if you can trust their numbers). After today's squeeze, not sure there are many shorts left. Which is why I didn't add the wings onto my...

For those with fire power, great short straddle opportunity right now on KODK. KODK 8/21 You can short the 7.50 Call for 3.80, short the 7.50 put for 1.95 You are profitable if KODK closes anywhere from 1.75-13.25 in Aug. I have no position, just wanted to bring this great trade to the...

Hey ffs1001 thanks for the response, and for the formal welcoming. No, this isn't an earnings play. This would be specifically for those moments when there's a high probability of IV falling the same day anywhere from 5-25% (open trade in morning when IV is 80, close in afternoon when IV is 60)...

Very first post, so please go easy on me. Suppose you are fairly certain of an intraday vola drop of, let's say, 20 pts. What's the best way (defined as maximum % return while minimixing % risk) to capitalize on this expected fall in IV? The goal would be to isolate volatility and not have to...
