take a hike , clown

lets keep the comments to 20 year old trade, shall we

this way you dont have any skin in the game

No, you don't have any skin in the game. It's not even worth mentioning your odd lots. Funny thing, there isn't any proof your trade hit the tape.

you trying to instigate a war ? lol. typical .

 

[FreeGoldRush]

check out his posts, 100% commentary and theory. Not a single trade. That's the mark of a poser

That's the mark of a wise man. You don't tell others your trades and put them on the trail of your strategies. We all hit a liquidity wall at some point so we sure as heck don't want competition on our trades.

My money is on dest.

 

[BlueWaterSailor]

My money is on dest.

Well yeah; no shit. If somebody was to make a market in it, I'd put some serious dosh behind it.

Meanwhile, though, I'm going long Orville Reddenbacher... that's a picks and shovels play if I've ever seen one.

Well, if you mean simply because you think this dest/Jack battle is going to be drawn out and many people would buy lots of popcorn, you'd technically want to go long ConAgra, since they own the brand.

For those who didn't know:

You can borrow cheaply by emitting a "synthetic bond". There is an options position that will allow you to get close to LIBOR rates explained e.g. here:
https://docplayer.net/37966608-Box-...strategies-for-borrowing-or-lending-cash.html

You will have to post at least 2% margin depending on your broker.
The money you will get is part of the margin and can be used to finance something else.
While this is very cheap it can not be done with every broker. The margin required can change quickly which can lead to sudden death...

The discussed trade was this: borrow cheap and invest in higher yielding security
I am pointing out how the cheap borrowing could be done.
I am not suggesting to take on more credit risk, ignore the interest rate risk or any other of the many possible fallacies.

What MrPuppet mentions: "Robin Hood Box Trade"
A guy did that on Robin Hood. Initially it worked as he could borrow. RH had a software bug and didn't compute any margin for it. So he could put on many more boxes and borrow virtually unlimited. RH fixed that bug but the box trade still works and would save retail traders millions in margin loan interest payments if they knew it.

Not every broker will allow to put it on. Never do it with american options! Never try it if you don't understand every aspect of it!

brokers have limits on that (balance sheet limits) often related to your equity balance as.
