120k puts bought on DJT just before Trump assassination attempt

The original stated size was huge both in terms of the float and in terms of typical bets made by the firm.
The revised figure makes more sense.

But its also interesting to note that the company apparently has never had to do a revision before. So its kind of ironic that this was the trade they got wrong.

Plus, I thought the screenshot from the Bloomberg screen was somehow an actual fill or something, not just what is reported, but I have no idea how this all works. If that screen is simply a manual entry, that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in me about all the positions listed.

I'm not an expert, but I believe firms are required to disclose positions above a certain size. I believe there was significant discussion of the topic around the time of the GameStop short squeeze.

It looks to me like just a simple error, but it made sense to ask questions based of the original stated size because it was totally out of profile.
 
Not quite the right way to put it. They really did file an actual report saying they had 12 million.

They subsequently filed a correction to that report which they had filed with an error.

Nobody photoshopped any fake reports.

I wouldn't be surprised if some data providers only pull this data from the SEC once a month and so the bad data persists for quite a while in some places.

yes and no. even if this is a real 12 million short trade, making allegation and rallying up teh storm trumpers are not tuning down the temperature. shit will happen again, to his own detriment.

insider trading is the SEC's purvue.
If they tried to kill trump to earn a profit, that obviously would be the purvue of another department (probably the FBI)

LMAO What "inside information" could they have obtained? Trump's assassination? That's not insider trading, but mere stupidity. As I said above, nobody would be that stupid.

what are you talking about?

Whatever is smart or dumb doesn’t define inside information.
