Brokers get told how many assignments they need to make and then they hand them out randomly to their customers. My impression was that the number of exercises gets added up by the OCC and there is no chain of permutations recorded tying an individual exercise to an assignment from one broker's customers to another.

My belief here is based solely on having read some documents about the assignment process and having seen no reference to such record-keeping.

If you make a mid-day order on an exchange you would be able to trace the transaction to a specific buyer and seller, because a specific counterparty got matched with your order. But if you exercise an option, or buy at the opening or closing auction, the shares are naturally commingled together.

$70K is going to look like a bargain.

Um, because they vote Democrat, and that's whose in power.

The active orders on some brokers tell you how they got routed (i.e. via "Citadel"). I did some testing, with similar trades. Some of the difference is just from the commissions structure -- if it's not a percentage of contract price, smaller priced contracts benefit from lower commissions. I was buying and selling long and short strangles and straddles or iron condors. Sometimes strangles with farther out contract legs, at prices like 0.40-0.80, would use Robinhood (simply because I had an account with them, and not every other broker), while nearer contract legs at higher prices on the same underlying would use Fidelity or IBKR.

Generally I was entering and exiting, not holding to expiry, so I had 0.65x4+fees = 2.70 in commissions for a given contract pair on Fidelity. Nowadays it'd often be about 2.05 on Fidelity because they let you close contracts under .65 for free. I didn't think to negotiate commissions, but I was surely too much of a small fry for that.

They're standard rechargeable batteries in sizes like CTL1616, which are easy to get.

AFAIK they don't need to be replaced on a comparable time frame if the watch regularly gets light.

As a retail customer that has done volatility trading I've used RH and other brokers that route through Citadel, because they gave better fills/commissions that made my returns more profitable.

The reason for this is that they can give tighter fills to small scale (and presumably dumb) retail investors.

Do you mean the Robinhood shareholders?

Global warming is only about 1 degree Fahrenheit every 2 decades, so the rate of profit or loss is going to glacially slow -- it will be in proportion to its minimal impact on GDP -- compared to other money-making opportunities.

What is a Europe?

I am implying you can expect that price to be maintained in the future -- it isn't some ephemeral discount.

It's been available at $40-$50 in practice for years and years.

Maybe you are confused by the words "common stock" in Basel 3 or something -- that's in the stockholders' equity line, book value, and is not defined by the market price of the company's own common shares.

(For example, you can look at PACW's Q1 press release, and see its Tier 1 capital ratio not getting cut by 2/3 by the precipitous drop in share price they endured: https://www.pacwestbancorp.com/news-market-data/news/news-de... )

It's publicly traded and they pay RSUs.

What "capitalization rate" (?) that banks use includes the publicly traded share price in its calculation?

Some of them. A bit less than half of loans at Capital One are more than 5 years, for instance. (I'm just overly familiar with that company.) But a 6 year loan from June 2021 is still almost 1/3 paid off.

The other question is if there's a recession, how much will used car prices, for cars that were new in 2021, drop.

Keep in mind that car loans get paid down pretty fast. For example, Capital One's <620 FICO customer segment has already paid off about half the auto loan principal from 2021. Their delinquency rate has flattened, quarter over quarter, as well.

What exposure to the stock market are you talking about?

What? How do depositor bailouts affect bank managers' incentives?

That's also how it works if the County Golf Commissioner finds that he is 'actually' innocent.

Because that's not their job.

Because the principal isn't paid down, the weight of the future loan repayments is more years away, and they get more affected by interest rate changes.

Jumping in front of a train also has the death penalty; drug dealing in Singapore is just another form of suicide.

Sure they contributed. They incited the development of better media compression formats.

They (Singapore, or the PAP) have freely amended their judicial system as they see fit.

You could use a similar technique to make this proof not reference trigonometric functions.

Robinhood is often the optimal platform, or tied for one of them, for options trading, because it has no commissions and in some cases, some degree of payment-for-order-flow fills where your orders blend in with "dumb retail".

If anything, companies would favor remote work because it allows them to undercut the pay required for local talent.

Desperate? It’s not like they’re facing a margin call. They’re just looking for funds to be VC’s with, because that’s the business they’re in.

Your attempt to frame it as “desperate” is just kinda sad.
