Were you able to sell? Heard some brokers are being difficult on the puts lol

Yep! This was the realized profit, maybe a little more (I think I sold both for $46.75 instead of the $46.55 listed?). Robinhood was being annoying but they said options would resume shortly after open so I just stared at the stock for like 35 minutes until it started trading lol

Why would you sell the option? You could have just exercised them for $49.75 each.

Unless you couldn’t acquire shares. In which case you paid $300 for each contract for someone else to immediately buy and exercise your contract on another platform.

You could have opened a fidelity account and bought sbny. Then sold your option to yourself and then exercised. Extra $300 per contract for not much work.

You can’t exercise them unless you have the shares as collateral. The thing Robinhood did on 3/17 was an exception.

I know I said unless you couldn’t acquire shares.

I don’t use shitty Robinhood that blocks trades. Here they robbed you of $600

You could have went to a platform that let you buy the shares and traded your option to that platform and exercise.

I’m 99% sure you lost easy money here.

You could have put your price at $49.50 and a market maker would immediately bought you option and executed your option for you.

My guess is you did the midpoint suggestion from Robinhood on the spread or just did a market order and hit the open bid price.

Midpoint was 44.50ish, and I executed at 46.75. Not going to go through making a new fidelity account and doing all that extra work just to risk illiquidity in the OTC market.

It’s easy to critique when you have hindsight. Send me a post next time you have puts on a company that delists and goes under so I can learn from your wisdom 😉

Idk wth you talking about with that spread, you can literally check the options chain here: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SBNY/options/

$50 put options were selling for $49+. I’m sorry Robinhood shafted you.

Idk why you’re apologizing or care this much to correct me, you made less than me today and probably in general too LOL.

It’s supposed to be a fun gain post, why do fat top hat discord mods like you try to forcefully exert your intelligence on others? Send me that all time chart or move on bud

I saw a very obvious misprice and how you got shafted by your brokerage.

I’m telling you for next time so that you can learn how to make that easy $600 extra, but you’re clearly seeing it as an attack.
