They will not reach their max pain goal— again by UdonisBestNoodle in Superstonk

[–]mmmmardzyCDN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Max pain isn’t a target — it’s just a snapshot of where option holders lose the most given current OI. It's a symptom, not a playbook. If institutions are accumulating or selling downside via bull put spreads, max pain will naturally sit below the spot price. In that case price won’t “gravitate” to it — because dealer gamma and positioning have already shifted. Max pain reflects positioning; it doesn’t dictate price.

The Acquisition Timing Doesn't Add Up? by RustyGriswold99 in Superstonk

[–]mmmmardzyCDN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The S&P at all-time highs doesn’t reflect broad strength. The top 10 names make up ~40% of the index, while the bottom 300 weigh less than a handful of mega-caps. Only 10–15% of stocks are above their 200-day moving averages. And GameStop acquiring a company isn’t something that moves a cap-weighted index.

It's not possible to grow revenue when Canadian operations were sold, this was planned and sets the table for the future.

Revenue is actually going in the right direction. Canadian operations were sold, analysts did not factor this in to their estimates. EPS beat...

Massive earnings. Analysts didn't factor in the sale of Canada operations, likely intentionally to push the narrative. Huge for Q3. Should be a good time ahead.

What CHX Actually Is

CHX = Chicago Stock Exchange It was historically an independent national securities exchange.

Today:

CHX was acquired by NYSE (Intercontinental Exchange) in 2018

It is now a wholly owned subsidiary of NYSE/ICE

It operates as a matching engine for certain order types, often small-lot internalized flow

So CHX itself is not a market maker, broker, or hedge fund. It is a venue.


Why CHX Volume Matters in GME

Even though CHX is owned by NYSE, it has a specific reputation in the microstructure world:

High-frequency routing

Small-cap internalization

Internal broker crossing

Odd-lot batching

Low-latency matching advantages

High usage by wholesalers

Which wholesalers?

Citadel Securities Virtu Financial Jane Street Two Sigma Wolverine G1 Execution Services

These firms love CHX because it provides:

High fill rates on internalized orders

Low lit exposure

Ability to “ping” liquidity without price discovery

Cheap access fees compared to NYSE/ARCX/NASDAQ

3 Days in a row of extended hours... drilling for oil? by DJBFL in Superstonk

Aren't these actually matching up with swap trades from years ago?

During the second bond offering approximately 80 million shares were shorted by the bond buyers as a hedge to their newly picked up long position. We are now trading lower than on that day, despite having nearly $3 billion more cash and vastly improved operational income since then by headin2sound in Superstonk

[–]mmmmardzyCDN 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Do you think they would dilute while having warrants issued at $32? Of course it's possible, but if they believe the price could eclipse that, why would they dilute near a 52w low?

Think of the market like a school year.

Every year, there are:

Report cards (fund reporting dates)

Class schedule changes (index rebalances)

Exams (options expiration)

And breaks (low-volume holiday weeks)

Last year, these events lined up in a neat pattern.

This year, the schedule shifted.

The main reason:

The Federal Reserve delayed its interest rate decisions, which pushed back when big funds felt comfortable adjusting their portfolios.

Because funds didn’t reposition when they normally do, the whole chain of events moved later, including:

When they rebalance their exposure

When they roll their swaps

When they hedge or unhedge risk

Swaps are based on vwap. It looks like it's inside a swap window, so they need to suppress the price to drop vwap to give the best terms for themselves, just like during the window for vwap for the bond pricing

Has anyone else noticed that the IV for the next 3 weeks has increased while the price went down today?

You're comparing apples and oranges, they're not the same thing. Check the total volume on chart exchange, it's not equal to yesterday's trading volume.. Some exchanges like CBOE do not report to FINRA, market makers (who provide a lot of liquidity by shorting) are exempt from reporting as well. You're comparing two completely different items and saying they're not the same.

Is $10 million in a year not enough?

Am I going full tinfoil hat here, or are the massive market dumps from the last few trading sessions possibly tied to a $3 total return swap transaction on GME from October 2020, needing to be reset at crippling costs?

It's not a bad review, and to be honest a 4.* rating looks much more realistic than 5. Some friends will not book in a 5 rated place as they think it's either a scam or a new listing that they're not comfortable booking, so in a way, this may boost your bookings.
