I don't quite get how the market responds to option trading. So Softbank is buying a bunch of call options. Why is that pushing the market up? Is it just magnifying momentum because they exercise calls when prices go up and that in turn makes prices go up more? And then the opposite happens when it goes down?
We're having a big pullback on tech. Is it all or mostly attributed to this one company? If so, that's scary.

Anyway, take that to an extreme where market makers are short a lot of calls (i.e., something called 'gamma' which is the amount the delta changes as the underlying stock moves) and the market is going parabolic. It's made worse because of the Robinhood crowd who's been chasing returns left and right. Hope that helps. |

I wonder if Softbank will reveal they have a rogue trader within their organization? That's some serious risk.

My email to customersupport@softbank.com must have worked. It seems they went back to buying calls as everything has turned around and shot back up.

BMO Bank of Montreal doing very well for me, plus a dividend payment this quarter.
Just bought BNS Bank of Nova Scotia 2.72 Div (6.36%) this week. And PNNT Pennant Park Investment 0.48 Div (13.15%) Nice Green day for my portfolio after an up and down week. |
