Euronext pulls options Pershing Square
Euronext announced the options on Pershing Square won’t be introduced. Not a single market maker was interested in quoting options on Bill Ackman’s hedge fund. I told you so (don’t wanna brag).
Seriously – expected Susquehanna to sign up for this. Without market makers there will be no market, and empty screens. Poor uncle Carl has to place his bets against Bill somewhere else.
Remains strange Euronext waited till Thursday after market close to inform the rest of the market the introduction on Friday morning won’t be happening. Postponed, until further notice.

Options on Kas Bank – again
From Ackman and Icahn to other titans of the industry. Last year market makers turned down the suggestion of quoting options on Kas Bank. The involvement of Allard Jakobs in the stock (he has a stake of 5%) didn’t create a lot of enthusiasm among the market participants. Allard sticks to his position in Kas Bank, but now to other titans jumped aboard (Chris Oomen and me).
Anyway, Euronext gives it another shot. Trading in options with ticker symbol KAS should commence June 5th. If any market maker is interested, that is.

Update : Euronext pulls options on Kas Bank – again
That was fast. My confession I was long Kas Bank must have pushed them over the edge. Introduction of options on Kas Bank has been cancelled. The other part of the post above also proved to be wrong. The options on Pershing Square will be introduced – they’re only fixing a technical glitch. Trading in dollars caused some problems.

Who? You?
optiver posts profit of 250 million – makes IMC look pretty poor
how did they achieve that? In which products/instruments is Optiver beating IMC?
faster smarter strategies, people etc, duh
optiver killed it in japan and india last year
Market structure changes have led to India becoming massive for them in second half of 2014
Word is, hilgers strong armed the Indian prime minister into changing the exchange rules
Rude comments probably. Trash.
India is bigger than kospi for them now
yes, you are praising, of course, what was i thinking, oh right, sarcasm
so how did he shaft you?
you can’t compare gambling proclivity of an oriental vs south asian, no way optiver is getting rich in India, somebody got some actual numbers of volumes in kospi vs nifty?
hmm, censorship is back, but ip has been spared this time, hidden quotes working
define censorship
censorship is when you impede somebody else’s first amendment rights
why do we get this everytime when posts are routinely censored ‘Subscribe to the Amsterdamtrader mailing list – never miss a post!’
Check out the new commenting rules on “freedom of speech”.
you have misspelt ‘thrash’ censor man
and your mum ain’t got anything better than to read the remaining ‘thrash’ you don’t censor?
the problem with the funny cartoon is that ‘you’ get to decide where to draw the line, and thus take the moral high ground whenever it fits ‘you’, moral or not, go to any floor, the stuff you censor is normal talk, it’s your blog of course, but it’s nothing with just the ‘goody’ talk, the whole idea of ‘anon’ was that it’s impossible to insult or be insulted, time to grow up
You mean the Dutch, English or Hong Kong first amendment?
Is this now ChicagoTrader or something? What do the Dutch have to do with the US constitution?
