Research: new option type "Chameleon option" :-)

Although both stupid ideas, the Chameleon is far better than FairPut.

Can you also say why you find it a far better idea?

Has a much cooler name for one. And has already been invented in the OTC market.

As was pointed by @Kevin Schmit out earlier in your original post, where you admitted defeat and accepted your inferior intellect:

"If the put payout is unfair compared to the call payout, why does long stock plus long put replicate the [same strike] call payout?

....to be clear, if a fairput has the same price as a standard put, no one will buy the standard calls as they would get a better payout than the call with long stock and long the put. Similarly, just banning the standard puts on your exchange will do you no good, as people will just replicate the put with the call plus short stock, and arb that synthetic standard put against the fairput."

[+ 1 FairPut + 1 spot] > [+1 BSM Call]

[ -1 BSM Call + 1 spot] > [- 1 FairPut]

[+ 1 BSM Call - 1 spot] < [+1 FairPut]

Riskless arbitrage, Algernon. They must have kicked you out of Hitler Youth Camp. Would explain everything.

The dude is a flat-Earther. We thought he understood it could be arbed in the original thread, but he simply doesn't get it. At this point we're feeding the troll.

And yeah, he's clearly a Nazi.

Of course, if you say it then it must be true, man.
Can you also prove what you say, with a link maybe?

Defintely a flat-Earther, impossible to reason with. The 4th Reich would overtake China as our biggest threat. Sounds like he's a Trumptard too.

Man, you both low-lifes, FYI: I'm not even a German, just residing in Germany as a foreigner. Myself concerned whether to stay any longer in this country b/c of the new Nazis here...

Just today had an unpleasant encounter: an important letter from the patent office could not be delivered to my address whereas the address is 100% correct. Meaning: since I have a non-German name, a possible Nazi postman probably has decided not to deliver my post into my postbox (--> returned to sender)... Those are the current times in Germany, dear friends & foes! And thanks for your non-existent sympathy...
Ie. the letter could not be delivered about 2 weeks ago, I learned it only today when I asked them...

Not that I remember.
And off-topic.
