Wednesday 4 Apr 18 Morning Notes

Man, was I way off on my estimated capital gains tax payments for last year. Ugh. Entered a LFIN Apr/Jun 2.5 put calendar for .25. Keeping my fingers crossed it isn't delisted within the next 3 weeks... Meanwhile, looks like we have ourselves a good old-fashioned trade war thanks to Trumplestiltskin #clown

Y'day Other News: LFIN appears to be the new CYNK. This thing was trading at 75/share a week ago, it's marked at 11 in the pre-mkt. 2.5 strike Apr puts were added y'day, and it traded 2800 of them with 2200 added to OI with them trading between .20 to .30'ish. Unreal! 

GM no longer to report sales numbers on a monthly basis, will now report quarterly. 

SPOT spotify begins trading today, should be interesting since it's a direct listing and it didn't take the traditional route to IPO. Looking forward to when options list! 

VIAB -3% after CBS offers a "takeunder" all stock deal for VIAB.
