Someone spent $1.4MM for the rights to buy 1MM SPY shares at $300/share on 3/16. It was an extremely extremely bullish bet.
So correct me if I'm wrong here. This guy paid $1.4M to buy option granting him to ability to buy SPY at $300 on 3/16 (next Monday). Price is currently $288 a share of SPY. Since the overall market sentiment is malaise right now, and the timeline so short, it was cheap ($1.41 premium/100 shares-is that the right unit?) as there isn't much going for the market turning up that much on such short notice.IrishTxAggie said:These were bought at $1.41 at 2:35...closed at $2.23 Someone made over 50% in 25 minutes.IrishTxAggie said:
$1.4MM just went to the SPY 3/16 $300C.
Tread lightly if you're planning to hold short positions overnight. That is a highly unusual play.

Interesting news about SNSS, I considered selling mine today, I shall wait a short while longer.

Partnering TAK-580 and vosaroxin: In December, Sunesis consented to Takeda Oncology's assignment of our agreement relating to the pan-Raf inhibitor TAK-580 to DOT Therapeutics-1, Inc. ("DOT-1"). Coincident with the transaction, Sunesis and DOT-1 entered into a new agreement covering TAK-580 and DOT-1 paid Sunesis an upfront fee of $2.0 million. Under the new TAK-580 agreement, DOT-1 agreed to pay Sunesis up to $57.0 million in pre-commercialization milestone payments, plus royalties on future sales of TAK-580. Also in December, Sunesis licensed vosaroxin to Denovo Biopharma LLC ("Denovo"). Sunesis received a $0.2 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $57.0 million in regulatory and commercial milestones, plus double-digit royalties on future sales of vosaroxin.

Personally, I'm with you.Ranger222 said:
if you're buying today you have bigger stones than I. I believe we see lower prices in the next few weeks.
Does this work with OBV? I saw that OBV hit a low not seen since 2008, so I just assumed it meant a turning point may be soon. Does the above give pause to that indication?claym711 said:
All bottoms are made on a peak low price volume magnitude. Today wasn't it, though it's interesting to see a 5% round trip. This isn't an insult by any means, but this thread is retail traders and never came close to capitulation - it has been buy every dip.

It is $1.41/share. Options contracts are /100 so each contract cost $141. So this buyer bought 10,000 contracts for $1.4MM for the right to purchase 1MM SPY shares at $300 on or before Monday.
But you're saying that the market sentiment changed and the call option rose in value and even though the timeline is shorter (by a half hour) his calls were worth more. So he sold the option to buy SPY next monday at 300 for $2.23/100 shares?
Not necessarily the entire sentiment. Just that this person took an extremely bullish position during extreme volatility where we've gapped up or down everyday the last 10 or so I believe. The timeline is now shorter, but the market rallied a lot in the last 25 minutes. The Delta increased rapidly whereas the Theta wasn't really of importance in so little time. If he closed his position at market close, yes he sold the right to buy those shares and had over a 50% return in 25 minutes. I'm not sure if he sold. I didn't look at the volume at the close. If he's still holding them, the value of the contracts settled at $2.23.
So he made money on the growing sentiment (thus increased options demand) that the market will go up over SPY $300 by 3/16, not that it actually did crest 300 today.
Correct. He made money off of the assumption that the market will be at 300 by close Monday. Assuming he held the calls until close Monday, for him to be completely b/e he would the SPY to settle at $301.41 (cost of contract + cost of share).
Correct whatever I've got wrong.

Took my 4 yr old son to see "Onward" by Pixar this afternoon. It's a really good movie and I teared up at the end.
Prognightmare said:
No, but thanks. I took some positions out yesterday on some longer term options and they're looking ok.
"Onward" is about a father and his sons. I lost my dad in January so it triggered some emotions. If you have little kids, they'll like it and so will adults.
