CONNECTING THE DOTS: HOW SOFTBANK MADE BILLIONS USING THE BIGGEST "GAMMA SQUEEZE" IN HISTORY
"It’s just a levered punt on the market.
The whole strategy is just momentum buying."
by Tyler Durden
It was back in July when we first reported that Goldman had observed a "historic inversion" in the stock market: for the first time ever, the average daily value of options traded has exceeded shares, with July single stock options volumes hitting 114% of shares volumes.

Goldman data which showed that "individual investor active trading is playing an increased role in market volatility, particularly in select stocks. In the shares market, 2.3% of all volume is made up of trades for $2,000 or less. The increase in small trades has been even more notable in the options market, where 13% of all trades are for 1 contract."

To be sure, this option frenzy was a goldmine for retail brokerages such as Robinhood, Schwab and Etrade, which reported options trading activity surging 129% YTD (up 35% from June levels), which helped explain why various HFT outfits are paying so much to frontrun Robinhood option trades.

Finally, we also pointed out where the option trading footprint was largest, and not surprisingly we showed that options volumes had been driven higher by an increase in trading in many of the large market cap names. AMZN, TSLA, AAPL, NFLX and FB had the highest volumes in July. Among the top 25 underliers with high notional volumes, MRNA, WMT, NKLA and TSLA saw the biggest jump relative to the prior 12-months.
The last clue that an entire generation of investors were flooding into options (readcalls) was the surge in individual investor option activity in both the top 50 and the top 500 US names, which has continued a steady climb since the start of the year.
Fast forward to last week when we first showed that these trends had accelerated to an unprecedented degree, and the implied vol among some of the giga-cap names such as Apple had exploded to record levels even as the stock was trading at all time highs and sporting a market cap of $2.2 trillion...

.. while the plunge in option skew, first highlighted in July, had also hit unprecedented levels.

These bizarre trends, where one or more players where furiously buying calls and pushing both the implied vol and gamma (in both single stocks and the broader market) ever higher while dealers were caught short gamma and were forced to chase stock prices to obscene levels, creating a feedback loop where the more calls were bought the higher the underlying stock price surged, leading to even more call buying and the paradox of a record high vix at an all time high in the S&P500 (in fact the last time we had observed such a confluence was the day the dot com bubble burst)

Fear destroys the human spirit and soul... The wages of perpetual fear are polarized and locked minds...
Authored by Paul Rosenberg via FreemansPerspective.com,
I’ve gone on for a long time about fear making humans stupid, and even about it being a weapon and a brain poison. But I’ve also wondered at times whether people would hit fear-fatigue... that point where people have simply had enough fear and walk out from under it.
The wages of perpetual fear are polarized and locked minds. And that leads to knee-jerk opposition, violence and murder. We’re seeing that now and we stand to see it for some time. The world, it seems, has become addicted to fear.
