RE:IMO, BEST WAY TO HELP BBD.BSham, you are correct. I just want to further explain a bit. Based on prior expierence, the MM
can manipulate the up and down of the market price of the Bomber at will. All they do is to
drive down the sp price to below the exercise price of the call so that there is no money to make if the market price is below the striking price., or for the put option, the opposite., that is
topump up the market price above the striking price of the put. What I am saying is, in the option of any stock, no matter what option you buy, call or put , you lose. That is not the original purpose of the intention of the option market. It should give the buyer the chance to make money if his expectation of the sp price is correct. if not he will lose. This is normal.
If someone can control the movement of the sp, how can anyone win. Thin about that!
Perhaps, if you truely believe that is the game they play,( only you are 100% sure ) you can join them by selling before the release of the Quarter financia result , knowing that the MM will drive down the sp and repurchase the same stock when the sp is down. However, if they change their mind you mind end up to pay more to buy back your shares, the choice is yours!
