The problem is: naked short sellers are running out of time…
all finance names were beaten down until y’day, and many call writers were
lured to write naked calls for Friday expirations… but, all the sudden, at
close today, many OTM calls on names like WFC, JPM, GS, FNM, FRE, BAC, C turned
into ITM… and call writers don’t have enough stocks on hand for the delivery…
then they are forced to buy stocks back for the delivery, or they have to buy
back the same call they sold a day ago with 200-300% losses… both actions (buy
stock or buy calls) will lift stock price further up and put more OTM calls
into ITM, thus create even bigger demand to buy stocks in next 2 days…
This is a snow ball effect… and timing is running out… naked
call writers are on panic mode… with only 2 days left into OE… there are not a
lot of things they could do…
SQUEEZE WILL CARRY ON… EVEN IMPACT THE AUG CALL WRITERS!
