The #1 Skill In Selling Options

OK, so call volatility spiked and parity was often more than a point wide - sometimes a ton worse. SPX and OEX had an 80% market cap rule. You couldn't trade unless 80% of the underlying was open. IBM was over 20% of the major benchmark market cap. Tuesday the 20th - as things started to get close to some form of normal the XMI pit was still not answering calls - Blair Hull, literally walked across the street and bought the XMI future that contributed to the market improving and some quotes were finally showing up. The actual ticket is in a frame at Hull.
The NYSE prided itself on never closing. They never closed, just answered the phones and dropped the handset.

Reminds me of a story about a feud between jpmorgan and bear stearns. Jpmorgan delivers a letter of a collateral call to bear stearns at 4pm and is informed (in the lobby with hundreds of bankers walking in and out with their food delivery and Starbucks coffees) that the letter can’t be delivered because the bank is closed for the business day.

do you think that market makers at each firm have a fucking turntable style setup with all the greeks listed on it? that they're sitting their manipulating when your order comes through?

MM Bro #1: "yo, get a load of this phat premium I yeeted from TheDawn."
MM Bro #2: "nah fam, crank up da gamma!"

It's sitting *there*, not sitting their. LOL "Their" is a possessive pronoun of third person plural and one of the usages of "there" is relational positions as opposed to "here". The word "phat" does not exist. It's "fat".

I would expect MM's would at least know how to speak proper English, right @newwurldmn? LOL

See another pathetic troll who has nothing to offer, no opinion of their own and is just joining in this thread for the fun of it. This one can't even speak proper English. I am going to put this waste of space on "Ignore".

Wow. This has to be a troll post. Nothing in this post makes ANY sense.

The two people who agree with me are incredibly experienced. ETJ is too classy to get in the muck but I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t agree with any of your posts on this topic.

How does a market maker push gamma to infinity? Still waiting for those academic papers.

EXACTLY!! It was the short puts, pushed by the ballooning infinite gamma that never really reached 0 when delta reached 100 (or 1) like what @destriero tried to illustrate. And guess who pushed gamma to infinite on that day? The put shorters' tremendous losses on that Black Monday was the prime example of how gamma could be manipulated by the dealers who took the other side of the transaction who refused to sell their puts no matter how much the put shorters bidded to buy back their puts.

Thank you for proving my point with this empirical evidence and that theory doesn't really matter. It's the reality that counts.

That’s your argument you phat phuck?

"another troll who has nothing to offer, no opinion of their own"

AKA

"yOu DoN't AgReE wItH mE sO yOu CaN't tHiNk FoR yOuRsElF"

Everyone is nice to noobs?? LOL Sure if they agree to your bs otherwise they are on PCP, LSD right? LOL like what you wrote here:



They can't have their own opinion and god forbid that they want to stick to their own opinion. They have to accept your garbage as the bible right? LOL Anyway like I said, you are just a troll. You haven't really given me any empirical proof or mathematical calculations that counters what I have proposed. What you observed what MM does is not it. Since you are just a troll, I just treat you like semi-entertainment, not always funny but hey it helps me pass the time since trading gets boring sometimes.

This one aged well, didn't it!
