They never were. If this plays out without govt intervention, then I'll have much more confidence in the market's efficiency. But, we both know that is unlikely.

AMC is literally free now.

You can buy 100 AMC and then sell a $9 covered call and get a $10 premium. I just did it.

Edit to add date - these are Feb 19 Calls.
check my math:

you buy 100 shares for $15.50 each. You sell a $9 Feb call for $10. That lowers your basis to $5.50. It is quite possible AMC is back to $5.50 or lower by Feb 19.
You're right. I'm a moron. But that's why I've learned to never make big moves.
no man, we are a trading team here and we help each other.
Absolutely. And I appreciate it.

And even thinking about it in correct terms now, I'm happy with the deal. Again, I didn't jump in deep at all.

I think if it happens to drop below 5.50, there's a dang good chance that I can go free or nearly free by writing more calls on the way down.

TD Update:

They tried to force a covered call on EXPR on their end - rejected. He was surprised it was rejected after telling me they are limiting trades on this ticker. The guy I spoke to had to go talk to his manager who confirmed they were not allowing the covered call until their (TD) margin risk improved. Awesome.

I expressed my views on why I am being forced to "assist" them with that by locking me out of certain trades because some of their clients can't manage their risk.

Going to open an IBKR account.

At least one major retail-focused brokerage house is starting to respond to a frenetic surge in shares of companies that have been attributed to rabid buying by mom-and-pop investors on social-media platforms.

On Wednesday, TD Ameritrade said it was restricting trading for GameStop GME, +124.83% and AMC Entertainment Holdings AMC, +211.06%, as well as other names, amid a triple-digit percentage surge in the value of those companies in recent days.


4D chess here.

Market manipulation to stop market manipulation that was only possible because of market manipulation.

The problem is how can you ever feel confident in their platform as a trader? If you're sitting there with GME stock that you bought and now can't sell it until they deem it's OK?

It's not clear exactly what the restrictions are, probably just on options or margin trading them.

Anyone looking to get into a rising company early with possible big potential in the future, Natural Shrimp (SHMP) . Company based out of La Coste Texas. They have made some resent mergers and have been expanding. Traded over the counter on TD but think they have plans to make it onto NYSE. Very interesting venture. I got a kick out of reading on their business. Figured I would throw a little of my EXPR profit in it for the long haul.

IF it continues to run the premiums will too, so you could roll your $9 Feb for a lot more than $10 - BiG IF

FUBO! Go go. Reached the 78% retracement level. Hopefully, it takes out the prior high in the next few wks.

Opportunity for the MMs to settle this one down and get in on a company that actually has some solid fundamentals.

Simply because it's been mixed into the r/wsb chatter around GME/AMC/NOK.

Because it is up over 200% in 9 trading days. The short float isn't nearly as high as the others, but ~7% is still pretty sizable.

Correct. But I just solidified the trade of a lifetime. Trying not to get too greedy before Uncle Sam rescues their buddies.
