It will be interesting to see what comes out of this. When I took my options valuation class at UConn back in 1988 it was all about covered positions. Mixing puts, calls and shares for arbitrage. It ensured an efficient market. When news showed up the next day in the paper, there was no way to manipulate shares they way it happens now. I wouldn’t be surprised to see short positions like those used against GME banned. The whole thing reminds me of the shareholder derivative lawsuits of the 90s. My involvement with Milberg, Weiss caused me to quit private practice. Then most of those partners went to jail, and the practice was largely regulated out of existence. That’s what is coming for the hedge funds. [/QUOTE]
