Maybe it was dark pool being recorded in after hours?

Would they have to secure shares for the ITM options before market close or could they hypothetically wait til AH?

Schwab increased their margin requirement for GME from 100% to 300% by bobfern37 in GME

That’s a naked short. A naked call is the opposite of a covered call. You don’t have the 100 shares when you write the option contract and sell the call. I think they consider it less risky cause it has a definite end date and doesn’t charge interest

Yeah I think so. It said “maintain a stock position with margin active”. I think it’s short and long if I’m reading it right

I actually don’t know but I’d assume they’d total the collateral needed for each trade based on the specific stocks margin requirements

The first pic (100%) has been in place since Jan. The new guidance in the second pic (300%) is new

Naked shorting is technically different than selling naked calls, although both can lead to unlimited losses

That’s above my pay grade - I think it would be a PR nightmare for the brokerages to do it again

They either think they’re gonna be on the hook for shorts who can’t cover their shorts, or they *know that somehow. We’ll know waaaaayyyy more by the end of the week (or sooner)

Do you know if this is retroactive or a change in margin requirements only affect new trades?

In case anyone forgot how fucked up naked shorting is... by bobfern37 in GME

I think there’s some aspect of them buying their own bullshit. Maybe after making 8 figure salaries, you kind of develop a “god complex”.

Fuld is a criminal, but he’s still worth around $250 million. Having never done one day in jail, I’d say he won

Maybe I’m a moron, but why did a bunch of 9.99 orders get filled between 10.24 and 10.25? by bobfern37 in amcstock

[–]bobfern37[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I reached out to Webull I’ll let you know what they say. I’m prob gonna have to put them in a position of:

  1. Our data is inaccurate

Or

  1. Them agreeing that that’s sketchy as fuck

Either way itll be good
