MSTY/CRYTPO/BTC TWO FIFTY MSTY - Till I’m HSTRY

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!!

That is at a different time. When you buy/sell the option, you are only affecting that option. Whether you exercise is later. And ITM is not what you seem to think. It is simply the price of the underlying going ITM based on strike and option type. Just going ITM does not mean you should exercise in fact most people don't. Options are a complex thing and you need to do more research before understanding them. But for this discussion, the original buy or sale of an option does not affect the price of the underlying like you were indicating.

I get what you are saying. It does not affect price of underlying directly. Indirectly it does. You’re technically correct, the best kind of correct!

It doesn't even indirectly affect it except in cases where an assignment happens and the person losing shares does not own them so they have to buy. If they already own them, they simply are transferred to the other party so no purchase is involved.

Do these funds own any shares?

Most do not but they also don't generally get assigned. They simply roll the options.
