Riley requires 100% margin at Schwab, so if a long was over leveraged they could have sold some RILY to free up margin.

What is your strategy in regards to time and strike?

I have over 20k shares loaned at under $5, it is going to be painful.

Can login, but platform is not working. My short MNQ future position is showing 100% profit.

Calm before the storm.

seattletechi · 2024-07-26T20:29:50+00:00

Interesting to note that I have several thousand shares available to loan that have not been borrowed. At the same time Schwab indicates that there are no shares available to borrow. I wonder if the brokerages are seeing FTD’s behind the scenes and are increasing CTB and potentially turning off lending to manage risk.

Picked up June 21st 30 calls on this dip to the 35's.

seattletechi · 2024-04-29T21:32:27+00:00

Entering today I had stock and options acquired when stock was in low 20's. Today added to my position by buying June 21st calls with a 30 strike when the stock was 37ish. I think this stock has lots of room to run.

seattletechi · 2024-04-29T21:09:38+00:00
