Wed 08 Apr 2020 Morning Notes

If I thought I had no time for prep yesterday, then today I *really* had no time.. and I have to try and watch the kids due to a time commitment on the wife's part. Kinda rough!

Sold some far OTM weekly puts on IQ yesterday into MuddyWaters fraud tweet. The $2s were going for 1700% IV and I sold until the bid was squashed, then sold the $5s from .23 down to .15 with IV north of 800%. The prices I sold the 2s for was absurd, thanks to whoever was bidding them up, just wish their bid size was larger! Wouldn't be surprised if the stock is fraudulent, I just don't think it'll blow up by weekly opex.
