Schadenfreude Warning: "Karen the Supertrader"

Good points. It turns out, TT is actually owned by Dough, Inc.

From tastytrade.com:

  • Tom Sosnoff and Kristi Ross are the co-CEOs of dough, Inc., which includes tastytrade and dough.com.
  • dough’s platform was built by the world-class technology team behind thinkorswim, which was sold to TD Ameritrade in 2009.
From their legal disclaimers, if you take a trade by watching TT, it's at your own risk, since the entire content is considered "educational" and NOT financial advice.

So it's highly doubtful any investor will survive a claim against TD Ameritrade and/or TT (dough, Inc).

Those guys dont even get right what IV means. They are funny, but dont ask for serious trading

I got the sense the investor understood the realized gains methodology she was employing but did not understand her abulity to abuse the system.
 
what do you mean ?
The whole business on TT is to sell IV.
Take the example and try to price the range using 2 SD and the stock would find oil.
IV has nothing to do with that kind of calculation, and the 'make it easy' drives people to blow up
 
She was first featured mid 2012 and by 2013 was under investigation. Interesting.

If people here don't read the links, at least they should read the posts here that summarized the links. That "investigation" concluded that the fund was missing a license and the disclosure was not full. They fixed both, got a fine, and it is specially mentioned that no investor was hurt by these omissions. So it is if anything, but actually OK-ing her fund's operation.

As an outcome of that Order, investors were actually aware of the unrealized losses going forward. It was published on the second page and with smaller numbers, but it was there nevertheless

You are welcome...

Nice name she had. It's like visiting a medical doctor called Super Surgeon Sam and then marvel how is it he turned out to be a crappy medic :D
 
Apparently you didnt read anything , bottom line she is a FRAUD and there will be a jury trial , and for god sake 100 million as unrealized loss in a single month thats a lot for a small fund like hers which refute the myth that she is a supertrader !

Is the fund frozen?
You got to think that any of the investors are madly trying to pull their money out asap which will cause a collapse because nobody wants to be the last one.


the underlying is the emini market, so a run would not have any effect . But the question is how much of the original $ is left? How many pennies on the dollar can investors expect to get?
