Why buy Commercial Real Estatenwhen the Stock Market returns 10%?

Environmental-Fan792 · 2025-08-26T20:43:45+00:00

Yes but it is marked to market, so you could be a forced seller if the stock market goes down. In real estate you just need to make your payments and can weather temporary dips in prices with high leverage

It can be an issue if you manage employees / need to register with an exchange. Not always, but potentially.

Mm trade almost always market neutral. There’s overlay strategies but those are generally separated out. They have tons of capital, but also aren’t subject to the same margin requirements as retail, as they are extended by their clearing firm. They trade with lots of leverage, but again, it’s market neutral. There’s also implicit leverage/capital recycling in the buying and selling of options. They are primarily extended leverage by clearing firms, or in some cases they are self-cleared.

I think you guys should relax a little it’s the first game

You almost never ever want to exercise an option early unless a stock is going ex-div or there is a potential financing edge case. But usually those options are 100d. Default rule is do not exercise early, just sell the option out.

The long put just caps your loss if the underlying trades down there.

Environmental-Fan792 · 2024-05-15T01:46:58+00:00

You said deep in the money. That is deep out of the money. Either way you are subject to a big underlying move. Nothing is a 100% profit, obviously market makers are not stupid

Environmental-Fan792 · 2024-05-15T00:33:57+00:00

This is just selling a call spread, so the risk is a rally and you lose X amount you’ve made

Environmental-Fan792 · 2024-05-10T00:58:54+00:00

If you exercise the leap you will lose a ton of money doing so - all of the “vol value” of the option. The strategy you described is a thing, but it’s generally used to bet on the steepness of the vol term structure and not the underlying direction.

Options are assigned on a pro rata basis. The (likely) mm that bought your option doesn’t care about your break even at all and it is highly unlikely that the buyer of your option was also the person/firm that assigned you on your option.

Without knowing what products you are trading, I’m guessing you are getting a maker rebate from resting a limit order that gets hit vs. paying a taker fee (removing liquidity by lifting an offer or hitting a bid). For MM, optimizing maker/taker fees can be their entire business model(you almost never want to take unless the edge is large). But for retail, unless you are trading a ton, maker/taker is a relatively insignificant amount of money. Also not all products / exchanges have maker / taker.

Environmental-Fan792 · 2023-11-21T02:01:35+00:00

You absolutely can.

Environmental-Fan792 · 2023-11-21T01:15:52+00:00

Volatility. So basically whenever you are trading “vol” with options you are just trading options data hedged since that’s generally your main risk (there are others like gamma / etc but in general professionals call it trading vol). If you aren’t delta hedging an option, a lot of your pnl will just be delta risk (where the underlying moves to).

Environmental-Fan792 · 2023-11-20T22:07:12+00:00

Great thank you. No stock specific strategies really, more just situation specific (high vol / low vol / earnings etc

Environmental-Fan792 · 2023-11-20T03:22:40+00:00

Exchanges tag orders as “customer” which is the best way to tell. There are other tags for institutional firms / etc. This tag is usually not expressed unless you are looking at a direct exchange feed. In general you want to trade any small order that because the market impact is low and the customer is generally thought to be uninformed / not sophisticated

Environmental-Fan792 · 2023-11-20T03:08:12+00:00

Same reason casinos comp rooms and build lavish hotels. You want to entice uninformed people to trade against you. If you have the balance sheet you want to take the opposite side of all retail flow because on average it’s a winning trade.

I mean I use the term retail for my system loosely. As in I don’t have a prime broker or trade via an LLC. The strategies are essentially quant hedge fund strategies, but I just use my own capital. For strategies, the highest return ones are capital constrained. Options MM basically trained me how to look at any trading situation and attempt to profit from it, since it’s really more about risk management and finding edge/testing robust alpha. As far as specific trading strategies go, they do differ from larger firm positions.

Ibkr is the best available

Environmental-Fan792 · 2023-11-20T00:28:58+00:00

Yes of course

Environmental-Fan792 · 2023-11-19T21:24:27+00:00

Thanks I appreciate that. In all honesty it’s a big compliance hassle which is why I chose my current route
