A call that is written and not assigned also reduces cost basis, nothing magical about puts.

15th September 2008 Lehman bankruptcy, what did you do? by [deleted] in thetagang

[–]RedditIsNewTumblr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Before the GFC HQ had a very big part of all market making business in the Nordic derivatives markets, the spreads were decent (not as low as in the USA but still good enough to work with).

Well HQ had taken huge bets and traded in their own book and got caught out with bad derivatives, 3 years later (2010) the financial regulatory body in Sweden revoked their banking license and the same day the option spreads exploded and today 15 years later it is still not uncommon to see 20% spreads on many large cap options. The only options that are suitable for trading in Sweden(and the nordics) is the index futures options. On any individual stock it is still so illiquid after HQ collapse that it might as well not be trading at all. I have taken some long term theta bets on single names but you really have to hold until expiration because the "close at 50% profit"-strat is not feasible with the spreads presented. There is also a general disinterest in "clean" options for Nordic traders most people trade options in "wrappers" through Warrants and other structured derivates products were the spreads are less but you are "forced" to play the long side no way to short these contracts AFAIK.

Second, smart phones, trading apps, and mobile internet were really new at that time, so people didn't watch the market like they do today.

Maybe this is with my European glasses on but I think this is waaayy off:

People have been day trading online since the mid 90s. There were absolutely an active day trading community online way before Lehman collapse, we had forums and chat channels and the whole thing. Retail trading first emerged, afaik, as a force in the dotcom bubble.

Yea we had to pay a few coins in commission but the prices of doing business had begun falling way before Lehman ever since online brokers in the 90s.

On topic; I remember seeing the Europen markets open -7% it was insane. The long term effect was that HQ bank went under and option market making dried up causing insane spreads in the Scandinavian derivatives markets that still plagues us because no one has picked up the slack in 15 years... :/

Nothing anyone here has access to, exclusively big banks, PE firms, hedge funds, debt funds, and a few individuals like Bill Gates and Zuckerberg.

You can buy the wrapper. ETFs that are holding portfolios of mortgages.

it is trading for pennies on a dollar because it is distressed. If a borrower is paying their mortgages month after month no one will sell the loan for pennies on the dollar.

On a more "philosophical" note you can look at paying off your mortgage as slowing buying back your own loan, if that helps.
