IBKR opens @ 50 or so.

Quote from Handsome:

They sure were fast in making options available on IBKR.

I take it there is no time period for options to be available on a IPO?

I've never seen options available so fast after an IPO.
 
I agree ... one week post IPO there are options on IBKR ?

how is that possible ?

next thing you know there will be SSF's on IBKR

:p
 
Interactive Brokers has its roots in the Options market making business and it is a pretty big part of their business.

No one can price IBKR options better than the folks at Interactive Broker.
 
I'm in @ $ 26.70. This has catch the falling knife metaphor all over it - but I wanted to enter a position right here, right now. No stops. If she tanks to $ 26. then I'll be heading for the exits.
I actually like the valuation of the stock and the going forward potential, we'll see how this plays out.
Cheers!

Congrats. I established the beginning of my position on Friday as well. I'm looking to build up this position over the next week.

This is a long term hold for me and not a quick flip.

Yeah but I was under the impression that an IPO has to be around awhile for options to become available.

This is not new. With such a large float, not even unusual. There is no rule preventing it.

As for IB making a market in its own options...... I suspect they might be forbidden from doing that. Anyone know for sure?
