Wow, JASO managed to close at nearly exactly $11...taking a nice little bump near the end to get there. Perfectly screwing most folks with $11 strikes on put/call. I'm not normally one to put much credence in market manipulation, but having the week's action finish out that way strains credulity to the utmost.
I had both short $11 calls and short $11 puts, so it worked out perfectly for me
Screw the MM! If you can't beat them, join them. I took a play right out of their book and shoved those calls down the MM's throat, so that they can get a taste of their own medicine.
I rolled the short puts to July $12's and pocketed $1.28, and bought back the short $11's for 0.03 about 10 seconds before close.
BTW, one time I had short TSLA let's call it $230's and the stock closed at $230.01. But I never got called to deliver stock. If you are long calls that expire ITM, then you can call your broker up to 5:30 EST on Friday to not take delivery of stock and let them expire worthless. I assume this happens a lot when they finish 0.01 ITM, but I am just guessing.
