I know 10K → 250K is 25x… but +240K seems like chump change to the bigs. Am I missing something?

#3

no, for institutions it’s nothing; however, it’s 250k per account so maybe that will hurt a bit. The smaller shops might have a problem.

Its my understanding that there are many many many accounts per participant. thats why it should be relevant; however did it actually go into affect yet?..and how would we ever know if it will have an impact if they can continue to cover synthetic shares with options strategies or private rules and regulations that continue to be off the books and carried out in secret? Also the dark pool dilemma is quite amazing. how can you even begin to reconcile that?

So, in regards to the popular Ape stocks, buy and hold and also --do what you can with ATM/ITM call options. and turn them over as much as possible as to not be left holding.

what i’m learning is PFOF is the real problem here. it’s the equivalent of seeing the entire deck before everyone else then telling the dealer which cards you want.
