Reread Post #77 What in the world do you mean "prone to arbitrage"? Like that is a bad thing? Arbitrage is what insures there will always be a market for your options that have intrinsic value in them.

You can write puts or calls all you want, and that's fine, there might be someone ready to buy your "premium"
the problem is getting out, if things go wrong. The way options are structured, it makes the whole thing a big binary payoff. Not really a long term strategy or a wise long term move. Not saying that options do not have a use or utility function. But not for millennial newbies with no market experience.

you probably not paying attention, but CFAs not employed by an asset management firm posting online always disclose their holdings or conflict of interests. If they are part of a financial organization, they need to write their shit and go through an approval process with compliance at their firm. If they get too specifics or come across as promoting, compliance "kill" their article or the paragraph they were promoting.
Go to SA, and check out the "footer" with all the disclosure. Like I said, you are not paying attention. Typical millennial

All he did was disclosing his holdings. He didn’t even write anything initially, just said “hey, here are my positions in GME”.
Also, he is no longer working in the industry and simply trading his personal account, if that matters. But again, all he initially did was disclosing his holdings, in more detail than anyone else.

what’s a CFA?
Chartered Financial Analyst
https://cfainstitute.org/
A Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charter is a designation given to those who have completed the CFA® Program and completed acceptable work experience requirements.
The CFA Program is a three-part exam that tests the fundamentals of investment tools, valuing assets, portfolio management, and wealth planning. The CFA Program is typically completed by those with backgrounds in finance, accounting, economics, or business. CFA charterholders earn the right to use the CFA designation after program completion, application, and acceptance by CFA Institute. CFA charterholders are qualified to work in senior and executive positions in investment management, risk management, asset management, and more.

I hear you, but it doesn't work that way for regulators. If he worked in a professional capacity, previously, he is still bound to a professional code of conduct, even after he leaves. And he knows it. He is also a CFA chartholder, which makes things worse for him, because this kind of attitude is specifically addressed in the CFA code of conduct. And he violated those principles with his YT videos. He might lose his CFA designation with that little stunt. Of course, I am assuming he is a chartholder, not a Level 3 successful candidate, which would be again something different. Either way, he is bound to that professional code of conduct even in his personal capacity.
The SEC and other regulators are going to roast him and make an example out of him. Will probably take all his gains away.
it's a professional designation for investment professionals, with a heavy tilt to compliance and ethics, and a code of conduct perception
Bitcoin is uncensorable.
Were you saying that those who hold a CFA have to disclose their holdings but those who don’t hold such a designation, do not.
