Associate Editor
JLN discovered a copy of “The Complete Guide to Options Selling,” authored by the guys behind the now defunct “hedge fund” OptionSellers. It’s interesting to read in hindsight.
The following are links to stories mentioned in this week’s episode:
–Tampa Bay Business Journal -> Tampa investment firm clients owe millions to broker-dealer that executed single-day trade, firm says
-Bloomberg via Crain’s Cleveland Business -> Wiped-out fund investors, represented by Cleveland law firm, seek to recoup losses from broker
–Financial Times -> Nasdaq moves into ‘alternative data’ with Quandl acquisition
–MIAX -> Court Grants MIAXs Motion to Stay Entire Nasdaq Litigation
–Globe Newswire -> Dash to Acquire eRoom Securities
-Bloomberg via Yahoo Finance -> Bitcoin Options Bought for $1 Million Will Soon Be Worthless
