For this high of a distribution, and this level of safety... I have not seen a premium this low!
Am I correct? MM / Educator.. any thoughts?
Maybe everyone is waiting for the Fed this week. I think it will be more of the same from them.. meaning not saying much. Hikes still possible, supply-demand more balanced. Another pause and stay the course.
DFN was taken out by shorts, otherwise even when it stopped paying it wouldn't have dropped. Then BK had its premium stolen by shorts. The shorts may not understand how splits work, and I swear shorts are attacking FTN now. But they will fail this time because of the great nav 16.92.
}First let me say I currently have a small long position in FTN but have been short several times in the last year but only when it was trading at a significant premium. Ftn is not under a short attack -- since OCT 15 the FTN short position has been flat or down. The average Short understands splitshares much better than the average FTN long if this board is any indication. When DFN stopped paying the shorts already had their positions and when it dropped because of longs puking on their shoes they actually softened the blow by covering their positions. I am currently short LBS hopefully "stealing " its premium. I am under water on the trade but as I am using it as hedge/trade against longs in LCS,LFE,and DFN I am sleeping well. GLTA
