Title: [WTB] ASICMINER share call options
Post by: Rodyland on April 30, 2013, 10:45:23 PM
I am looking to purchase short-dated (~4 to 8 weeks) call options on ASICMINER shares, for sale via escrow.

I am looking for upwards of 25 shares - how upwards depends on the option premium.

American style (ie. exercise any time up to and including expiry date).

Must be at-the-money or just slightly out of the money.  I have every intention of exercising these options - I wish to lock in a price, but can't afford (yet) to complete the size sale I am looking to do with the funds I have on hand right now.

Everything negotiable.  Please PM me.

Edit: clarified.  Thanks Entropy-mc

This is a ridiculous request if you don't specify a strike price at the very least.

I will gladly sell you as many 2 BTC / share strike 8 week options as you can afford at 0.01 / share.

It's not a ridiculous request.  I will entertain all offers. 

I have considered your offer, and find it wanting.   If you are serious about launching a negotiation, I would rather not do it in public, so please PM me your offer, and I will reply with a counter-offer.

Also, something I should have mentioned in the OP, I will require proof of ownership should a deal be reached.

what aspect of my offer is wanting?

proof of ownership is trivial to do.

Do you want at the money options?  out of the money options?  in the money options?

European style or American?

Good questions.  I've updated the OP with the answers to your questions, which should remove the guesswork inherent in my original description.  Thanks for pointing that out.

You can buy options for passthrough at bitfunder or btct.  I've shares at both of the passthrough.  Willing to entertain offers.

Been looking, option volumes are thin (and expensive) on both, IMO.

PM sent.

I would suggest just setting this up through the pass-throughs.  They both handle option trading.

I have access to enough shares to do what I intended:

However if anyone else wants to sell into the IPO, or sell options I can call on should the IPO be over-subscribed, please PM me.
