. You didn't read my nightmare scenarios carefully. You quoted some of my scenarios which apply only to cash-settled options, but your...
I don't know. I suspect that perhaps, in the case of a long equity position, resulting from assignment of a short put, exercising the long put to...
Your assumptions are false and dangerous. I know of specific actual cases contradicting your assertions, where people traded highly leveraged,...
First, nobody disputes my nightmare scenarios as to American style, cash settled options, so this post will skip over them. Second, I need to...
