Game theory wise it seems like if this becomes normal, going private with large short float on long-term risks to kill their ability to bet, it seems more risky.
How does this even effect puts?
What the hell happens to $350 puts dated 2019? Just absolute fucking loss.
Netflix should announce they are going private at $400. Watch the entire puts and short float immediately lose all their money.
>you thought you could bet on 2019 being tough on us because of disney? fuck no
theory wise what if companies just float the idea like musk did. Get some interested longs, ask if they like the idea of public, etc. Make sure there is a 10% risk of it happening to keep shorts and long-term puts at 1/2 Expected value.
?
The explanation is that EKSO went down when they didnt meet the EPS
i hope you didnt buy when the stock was up 30% today
private markets have been the new public markets for a while now
as long as private markets are flush with cash, companies have no reason to go public
im surprised more companies aren't going private
i'm still down with you sunrun user.
missed the ekso gains but that woulda been a sick day trade.
Can I get a quick rundown on shorting?
Yeah, I'm just wondering why would people short a hyped swingy stock if this was possible. I'm still a bit new to markets.
Good news for HMNY!
Is this the bottom for SYF?
