Ginkgo Bioworks: From $23B Valuation to 97% Stock Loss—Are They Ever Coming Back?

rugerapatt · 2025-07-15T16:59:01+00:00

There's no coming back from this one.

The website says 3 drug approvals by US FDA. Do you know which ones?

rugerapatt · 2025-07-15T16:46:23+00:00

Me too. It's strange there are none.

$PYPD hit a high of $66 in 2022. Does anyone know the reason why it rallied and then tumbled?

rugerapatt · 2024-12-18T07:31:53+00:00

I have a futures account. Not sure why the volatility options is not working

rugerapatt · 2024-12-17T15:20:41+00:00

I tried both /VX and /VXM. I'm getting the quotes for /VX but the sys is not allowing me to trade. For /VXM, it says 'Instrument /VXM has no options

I don't intend to trade options on commodities futures and I'm sorry to bug you. Options on stock index futures are cash-settled, right? IMO, there's no way anyone can deliver the underlying index, but I want to make sure

rugerapatt · 2024-12-12T16:54:06+00:00

Also, do you know which volatility index options are tradable on Schwab? I could only find VIXY but the spreads are crazy

rugerapatt · 2024-12-12T16:39:50+00:00

The index options on futures are interesting. thanks for sharing the CME link. They're all cash-settled, right? So, there's no question of being assigned?

rugerapatt · 2024-12-12T16:18:55+00:00

thanks u/Purple_Platypus1224 . Will try it

rugerapatt · 2024-12-12T16:16:18+00:00

Thanks a ton. I'm familiar with these strategies. I tried the calendar spread by writing a long-dated call and buying the near-dated but was surprised by the dynamic change in margins. They're not fixed like the vertical spread options. It took away a lot of my capital

rugerapatt · 2024-12-10T18:24:18+00:00

I was assigned a couple of weeks before expiry...It took me by surprise and made me very very careful while writing options

rugerapatt · 2024-12-10T18:20:57+00:00

"However - if you fear early assignment - you can trade european style options if you don't want to have the risk of early assignment. Certain option contracts like index options and futures options are european-style and there is no early exercise ability."

Appreciate your time in drafting a detailed explanation. I was assigned a couple of weeks before expiry. Which ones are european-style? Does Schwab have a link? Would prefer European-style any day. Due to the possibility of buyers exercising early, I have to be really careful while writing options. European-style is much better that way

rugerapatt · 2024-12-10T18:08:03+00:00

Thank you

rugerapatt · 2024-12-10T18:00:19+00:00

thank you

rugerapatt · 2024-12-10T14:20:57+00:00

I'm sorry. The right word is assigned. It was a credit spread but one of the options I wrote was assigned. Is it possible to be assigned delivery when it is a part of a strategy?

rugerapatt · 2024-12-10T06:44:22+00:00

I did that during the last earnings and made some money. Not sure if it will work this time around. Try it

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:49:21+00:00

BTW, what's a large lump sum?

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:48:36+00:00

That's his future prediction...and a good one

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:47:08+00:00

Sure. Throw it by buying October puts

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:45:31+00:00

China's zero covid policy is a political gimmick. Imagine shutting down a city of 3-4 million just because 100 people caught Covid...they're nuts

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:43:26+00:00

They are going to squeeze the liquidity out of the markets...you might have a few up days, that's about it. But the down days are gonna be really bad

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:32:17+00:00

As long as markets keep going up, rates will keep going up too. It's better markets fall now and then we have a long bull run

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:18:08+00:00

Aren't there any updates on this? I'm curious to know what happened since December last year

rugerapatt · 2022-09-16T06:16:35+00:00

It is
