All I know iz,
If I was in a position of influence:
Known Market person, Politician, etc..
I and my friends could easily profit from things like this.
Yes, I've seen the movies (Pelham 123) where they look for unusual option activity prior to big price moves, but there are ways.
Shares available to short at a 50% rate (at our firm). No desire to try and pick a top here for me.You're damned if you do and damned if you dont. Cant short it because there's no shares available but I dont want to chase it on the long side because the goofy thing might reverse at any second. Kind of a weird Catch 22.
I was looking at buying put spreads but extremely wide bid/ask (almost 90% of the spread)I just bought a diagonal: sold 43put may24 and bought 44put may31 for $2.10
Comments are welcome.
The first time I played the GME saga in 2020 a comment here saved me some money and I even made some!
