I suggest you read what I said again and really stop and think about it.
As discussed in the other Karen thread, I don't think we have enough information to say that she made or lost money for her investors one way or...
You could use inverse ETFs such as SH or PSQ.
Yeah, it is a big debit. I added contracts on the short side to reduce the debit and delta. Sold 1.3 fronts for each back.
Actually, one would be LONG the embedded front-month put spread within the diagonal. For example, I opened up a bearish diagonal in MCD (X=159)...
But vol isn't as important wrt the short put spread if the strikes are equi-distant from the current underlying. Skew in a long put spread would...

Meh. If you can, I would try to transfer from Schulich to Rotman. Reputationally, UofT is much superior to York and degrees between the two are...
Pullback?
Yes--that's what I said in the second post of this thread. The premium remaining in the calls can be approximated by the put value. What I'm...
Umm...where exactly is the arb in this example?
Not my favourite source to quote but this may help....
What does the remaining time value have to do with the dividend? Why would the calls drop in value by the dividend when holders of the calls do...
This is false. The calls would already be discounted by the dividend prior to x-div.
The options already reflect the value of the dividend. However, look at the value of the puts. If the puts are less than the dividend, it may be...
Depends on each security which is a function of when the series was issued, the next reset date and the credit worthiness of the counterparty....
These are preferred shares which reset their coupons on a fixed interval (as outlined in the series prospectus) at the 5-year Bank of Canada rate...
