I agree, but who gave IB the right in the first place. Plus say I want to trade a put combination which is not sensitive to Vega, like a put vertical for example.
I get all the options effect on prices, but do longs consider that they own a $345 stock that is backed by a business model that has become the Blockbuster of video games?
@lindq You seem like a rational person, so let me ask you this: Why do you care what @narafa is doing with his money? If he wants to buy puts why can't he?
Well, now this is not about the business model. It turned into a futures market (Through the mix of stock & options). Losers handing profits to winners until the situation changes. And slowly players are throwing in the towel & getting out of the game.
Nothing at all personal. And thank you for the compliment. The value of this site is that those of us who have been through a few wars can share information that may, from time to time, be a little helpful.
Yeah, but if I'm long at $345, I've gotta realize that I am one overnight headline away from waking up to 80% losses, no?
