No idea about options, just thinking to buy the shares at good price in case AMC is the next.
is there anyone here who has already bought AMC shares or options?
Yes, I bought 500 shares around 4-5$ - rethinking, what I’m going to do with them… same for NOK (what is the case here?) bought some 2023 options last fall - for a few cents, now trading at +4$ (and that was supposed to be a longer term thing 
)
Not sure I get it, Maiden Lane Transactions - Wikipedia says it’s gone from the Fed’s balance sheet (it can be in a lot of other people balance sheet but that’s how banking works, right?). Or maybe now we’re talking about QE in general, no longer about bailouts? (afaik those are different things)
Are you trying to buy on margin?
I read they only disabled trading for margin buyers.
hmm maybe https://www.flowbank.com/ ?
Yes and no: those are very different zoom levels of the same thing: the Fed’s balance sheet.
For those specific transactions (Maiden Lane) it looks neutral, but the money (and actually more) was lent elsewhere to the pool of funds for making other risky bets, actually with a limited risk, due to the implicit the Fed insurance.
A few quotes from a guy who knows very well the Fed and Wall Street, about QE (in 2012):
The market in most cases will cheer the Fed for doing more. It will never be enough for the market.
I think the Fed is actually at a point of encouraging risk-taking, and that should give the Fed pause. Investors really do understand now that it will be there to prevent serious losses.
Care to share the source? I like knowing people expertise (and whether they have heterodox views as I usually take those with a pinch of salt)
(Google was no help)
Yeah, perhaps you won’t like him: he is a libertarian crackpot who buries gold bars in a secret location in the Rocky Mountains and keeps frozen Bitcoins wallets somewhere else.
Just kidding (although I don’t actually know his hobbies).
His name is Jay Powell. You know this guy?
You find here a larger portion of the previous quotes, and from there, if you want even more, a link to the full original document.

… one bet, 90k → 48m 
If he sells I guess he won’t post anymore for a very long while…
We seem to approach the “HODL!! DON’T DO PANIC SELLING!!” phase:
“HOLD GME!!! DO NOT PUSSY OUT!!! WE ARE GOING TO PLUT! IGNORE ALL OTHER STOCKS”
I managed to sell an option of GME for February this afternoon. Impossible on TD but in IB was possible.
With this volatility the prices paid are really high!
There’s still some margin to reach BTC, now that GME is more like store of value than a stock

With 13.8 million cash on the side, I’d probably stay in and enjoy that savage ride, too.
Heck, I’d ride with seven digits just for the lolz and bragging rights!
“How I lost more than a million in the stock market …in a month”.
On a more serious though: If he “prematurely” dropped out before Friday to cash in, wouldn’t that amount to something like treason on wsb? I’d honestly be a bit concerned for the guy/girl’s well-being.

People get pulled into this game because it’s gambling. Many will probably suffer huge losses. That being said, it’s pathetic if censorship goes so far that it protects people from themselves.
I didn’t follow this madness, but browsing through this thread I saw so much knowledge that I’m missing (what is gamma squeeze). I’m just going to stick to conservative investing in assets with strong fundaments, like TSLA and BTC.
