Lol absolutely zero experience. But I love logic, and that's what I would do if I was them. Watching Richard's video today talking about how the different parties come to be on the bear side of the play, it just seems like it's easy for them to know what's good for the other, and to describe to their staff how they can align in certain circumstances in order to gain an advantage. It seems too simple, straightforward, and frankly innocent not to...
I didn't believe they are waiting for IV. They are waiting for the MM to reposition long, otherwise we are going nowhere. If you ask me, the could keep the bull flag that started in 2021 with the sneeze going for like another three years.
I was also thinking before that the exit of public shorts was a good thing, marked by the available shares, low utilization, and repo style usage of available shares. but now after watching these videos, I'm thinking no bueno. If MM is the only counterparty to public call buyers, then we will never get a set of strikes that could ramp the underlying into the thousands. I think it was public longs replacing the MM as counterparty and by doing so unleashed waaaaaaay more contracts at strikes the MM probably would have never listed. Tell me if I'm way off please.
hey i wasn't around when the 2021 sneeze happened. When the options chain got maxed out, did they pay out those contracts? Like if im holding 20$ calls and we are at 80$ will i be able to sell my contracts?
Of course you will be able to sell them it can happen that you have to go a bit below ask price but a MM will buy it at some point, they will just buy the shares and sell them for 80
They don't have to have any communication between arms. They just need to teach their staff about what is good for the goose....
Sometimes I wonder! In fact, often I wonder. Do you have much experience in the field? I’m laptop taught :)

To the moon my man
And the stars thereafter!
How low does IV have to go before institutions bet the bull side?
Depends on the context and the length of the trade I think. I’ve never worked in finance so I do not know.
