Numbers tell stories

It looks to me like Middlefield's E Split Corp has had call options exercised that they wrote.

I know, nobody cares.

I for one would like you to expand on your statement. Would the calls be on ENS or ENB? What is your take on the effect on ENS? Thanks!

Good start this morning. I  know it's hard for traders not to sell but the only way to drive the price up is to raise the bid/ask price upwards.

Middlefield writes covered call options on its ENB shares to improve yield (which just happens to pay their fees) ENB shares go up>>> options get exercised>>>>ENS ends up with fewer ENB shares>>>>changes the ratio for my Live NAV calculation Real question is how does Middlefield balance the equation which they do everytime within a few days?  They either ...more

Good discussion... Here's my take... A long time ago I was an active options trader and also had a close friend who was an options specialist on the CBOE (he likened his job as picking quarters in front of a steamroller...lol).  My experience back then and I suspect that this is still the same today is that most options are not exercised and in my case if I sold covered call options and ...more
