Indeed, I bought also several call 20. The massive buying of this call on march 20 (40,000) was actually what sparked my interest on the...
I am not complaining. I was just trying to find out the MM way to work, in order to get a possible alignment. As I said, if he persists with a...
This is exactly what I am worried about. Is the algorithm decides non to hedge under certain circumstances, the whole firm might find itself out...
Right, but you have to consider also people willing to sell to open. He is basically refusing to take any offer from them. Moreover, people in my...
Yes. We are talking about the same thing. Of course the MM can put any bid he wishes, but he is now offering an amount of money well below the...
If the MM takes care of the other stocks in the same way, he will soon get fired! Then he will have to tell ths to his wife! :D
I undestand that, but, by behaving this way, he has put himleft out of the market already for a few days. There are costs that his boss pays for...
I bought a few days ago 10 calls 19 ACI April @ 0.80. Since then, there is no bid offer. This is the only offer lacking on the whole option chain....

You are right again. Since they borrowed the stock in order to short it, they will need to hand back the dividend, making the trade outcome...
Wow. You are right. The trade involved also also the buying of 570 call 33. So it is a perfect 3 leg arbitrage. They will make money regardless of...
It is reported as a combo trade, so you have to look at both legs if you want to really guess the trader intent. I have the today OI, 315, so it...
Since they simultaneously shorted the put, it makes sense they shorted the stock too. Otherwise the trade would have been too imbalanced on the...
Today someone shorted 570 Puts 33 on VFC @ 4.6 and simultaneously (well, kind of, since about 30 secs passed by) shorted 57000 shares @ 28.905:...
Indeed it looks like there is still some play left on WayFair, but I am not sure how much I'll hold my calls before reselling them. One more...
