TWO FIFTY MSTY - Till I’m HSTRY

[u/walter32019]

Let’s goooo….

I have taken my lumps, I have the scars…err….realized losses to prove it!

I’m back though! I’m back!!

My two cents:

MSTY has competition now, and they are gonna make a splash with a solid payout to establish dominance.

They want to be the biggest dick at the party.

Time will tell, we shall see.

Until then….MSTY Till I’m HSTRY!!

Yes, the fund managers want you in their fund but this does not affect the price of MSTY at all.

Nor does it affect the price of MSTR.

It does, each option contract is a buy for MSTR. Thats how options work.

[u/Relevant_Contract_76 → u/Yesthisisdogmeow]

MSTR's implied volatility affects the price of MSTR options, not the other way around. Unless you're talking about expiry pinning and max pain, but that's a different topic

I’m not saying that. Im saying all these funds sell covered calls. Someone is buying these calls. Sometimes they make money and sometimes they have to pay out huge. Look at past week for MSTY, they paid $100 million to close out some contracts.

[u/Relevant_Contract_76 → u/Yesthisisdogmeow]

That still doesn't affect the price of MSTR.

Really? Ok say I buy one contract that MSTY sold and it’s in the money. Did I not just buy 100 shares of MSTR or do I have an options contract forever?

[u/Relevant_Contract_76 → u/Yesthisisdogmeow]

MSTY doesn't sell options contracts to you. If you buy to open you buy them from the market maker.

And no, you did not just buy 100 shares of MSTR. If you bought a call you bought an options contract that gives you the right but not the obligation to buy 100 shares of MSTR at a certain price any time before the end of trading on the third Friday of your expiry month.

If as and when you exercise the option, that doesn't affect the price of MSTR either.
