Lol, so in a nut shell, don't be long miners!

Couldn't happen to nicer people.

I repurchased my $NIO shares at $36. I sold earlier at $39--did I re-enter too high??

May learn to short just for them.. Don't use them, but my brothers and sisters in trading got screwed..

How many you holding? 🤣🤣😂😂

It's a peasant revolt!

Lol, yes William, the comic certainly fits this situation and worthy of a laugh!

Options trading is, inherently, zero-sum. There should be no net loss unless naked shorting occurred and was permitted on a large scale.

I haven't tallied the actual financial impact of these options trades, but naked shorting is illegal, to the best of my knowledge. As such, recouping should be possible through clawback of the stocks written upon. If, on the other hand, they have permitted the writing of naked shorts, those brokers that have permitted the same should suffer the loss if they cannot liquidate the position upon which options were written.

Liquidation of accounts is automated. Mr. Peterffy is concerned not a whit with the integrity of markets. He's concerned with his vast fortune.
