have anyone shorted LNKD?

where can you find it? how much does it cost?

 

I tried to short it today on IB but I didn't get any fills. Ameritrade had no shares to short either.

I just checked the IB site it claims there is 4K shares available to short but I couldn't get any yesterday so I'm not sure if it is actually available.

Here is the output from http://individuals.interactivebroke...sa&tag=United+States&ib_entity=llc&ln=&asset=

Symbol: LNKD
Availability: 4'000
Exchanges: data[13]

 

Synthetic short would only cost about 15 cents now.

5 cents to buy a $40 July put
10 cents to give to the buyer of a $40 call.

eg. stock bid at 88

buy $40 put at 5 cents
sell $40 call at 67.90

you have a synthetic short at 87.85 (excluding commissions).

 

Are you nuts? Wait until insiders start selling after their shares unlock. Just wait for 6 month or so.

 

Yeah wait until the stock is 50% lower.

 

the market can move up or down before they can sell. nah whatever.

 

the numbers seem to be off. if you sold the $40 call at 67.90 your break even is 107.90. if you bought the put for .05 your break even is 107.85.

 

it is an obvious typo. $40 call is $47.90.
I don't like it. you are subject to early exercise.

 

why would anyone want to sell lnkd is out of my league.

 

fools, and all documented for posterity
