  2. I admit I am long june70puts at 8.9 (only 2 thank goodness). The funny part is I knew in my heart of hearts that TASR was going higher! I felt I HAD to be involved on the short side but didn't want the risk of selling the underlying.....cheap lesson so far if you ask me. Next

    Unreal. Over 150% of the float has traded today.

  6. Put premiums are running at 95% vs 80% for calls of the same strike due to the difficulty in finding stock to sell short.

    interesting behaviour of irrational speculation.

    from 80.5, we've climbed to 99.75 on a non-economic changing event (stock split).

    panicked shorts if you ask me, compounded by stimulus response traders (even if it does not hold water).

    where it should be is a question of how much can u extrapolate their growth. that is subject to a very wide range thus a lot of risk.

    re-established short at 99.

    (glad i covered my previous short on monday. nice 10K profit.)

  8. Where are you getting inventory? Where are you getting shares to short?

    I think I'll have to declare a ***** BS ALERT **** on this one.

    P.S. In all seriousness, inquiring minds want to know where stock is available to borrow. Why not post the name of the firm here?
