I really like milkshakes and find they're a reliable option when stress makes it too hard for me to manage all the sensory stuff that comes with eating. I've tried making them myself by blending in a traditional blender and with an immersion blender. It's way too much work because I always make a mess, and it's never delicious, just adequate. I typically default to the couple ice cream shops near my house, but they're not reliably delicious either - and the experience as a customer can just be really hit or miss, like reviews on reviews on reviews say things about how they must train their employees to be rude. So, I just learned about the possibility of using an ice cream maker to make milkshakes, and I'm wondering if this is the solution to my problems and if it's a money-saver. submitted by /u/mmmbopforever to r/Frugal [link] [comments]

Its founder and former CEO, Francisco “Paco” Magsaysay. Starting out in Ayala Alabang, the brand has grown and branched out all over the country and even in Singapore. Coming from a very prominent political family, most people thought Paco would one day enter politics, just like his grandfather, the late President Ramon Magsaysay, and his father, former Senator Jun Magsaysay. “It did cross my mind. I think in 2010, 2012 [I considered] entering politics,” he said. His father actually told him that if he was thinking of starting a career in politics, he should spend some time in the Senate and Congress first. But he said his father never encouraged him to do so. When he did, Paco immediately realized that politics wasn’t for him, saying he might get very frustrated being stuck in that kind of system, that he might not get things done the way he wants. This was the deciding moment he chose to become an entrepreneur instead. “At the end of the day, we choose the life we live. We live a short life. I choose to do what I want to do, not what other people expect me to do,” Paco explained. When his father and his father’s friends put up a dairy farm in Bay, Laguna in 2007, they initially intended to only sell fresh milk. However, they soon realized that they would have to deal with an oversupply of milk and short shelf life. Wanting not to waste their excess product, Paco tried concocting different dairy products made from milk until he ended up making homemade ice cream. Upon realizing how good it was, he had a eureka moment and convinced his partners to focus on making the best ice cream. “I knew we had something really good. I said moving forward, we’re just going to make ice cream,” he said. Thus, Carmen’s Best was born. Which was named after his only daughter. The company was ultimately acquired by Metro Pacific Investments Corp. (MPIC), the infrastructure and utilities giant led by businessman Manuel Pangilinan in a P198-million deal in 2022 which will take a 51-percent stake in the venture known as The Laguna Creamery Inc. The Magsaysay-led Carmen’s Best Group will keep the remaining 49 percent.

TL;DR: I’m starting a project to taste as many coffee ice creams as I can (including latte, espresso, tiramisu, etc.), so please help me out by sharing favorites in the comments, especially any under-the-radar picks. About the project I think most of us ice cream fanatics have a flavor we like to order when trying out a brand we found at the grocery store or a newly discovered scoop shop. For many, it’s chocolate or vanilla. For me it’s coffee. Of my top half-dozen flavors, it’s not as tricky to get right as cheesecake and easier to find than cherry (and I almost never see spumoni). I could go for caramel or peanut butter, too, but I think those are easy in comparison. Coffee, on the other hand, offers just that extra little complexity and variance that lets the ice cream maker show off: Are they going for a light, milky latte, a deep, complex espresso or a middle-of-the-road, traditional coffee? There’s balance of flavor: How sweet or bitter will they lean? Choices can show personality or ingredient ethos: Does it feature beans from an artisan coffee shop (often in the brand’s hometown)? While I love coffee-flavored sweets, I don’t care for basic coffee. Once in a while, I’ll get an espresso drink from a shop, but I can’t pretend to be knowledgeable about provenance of certain beans or any of that barista insight. But I do know (or at least enjoy) ice cream. If I’m ordering from a brand online, most will offer some sort of coffee flavor and I will inevitably include it. Since I started sharing reviews here, I have wanted to do a coffee taste test. It’s just crazy how many are available — I don’t have the will or freezer space to do an expansive showdown in one, two or even three sittings. The only way to give it a proper consideration is to space it out. So I’m planning to post each week with reviews of at least a couple flavors. I have tasted many over the years, but there are still quite a few left to try. My plan is to taste everything anew if I can, whether it’s one I’ve had countless times (Häagen-Dazs) or just spotted (Ice Cream for Bear’s Bearista). Some brands have two or more variations (often one plain, one with a mix-in). I plan to group brands together once I can procure all variations. I’ll also include flavors that have a strong secondary coffee element, like Ben & Jerry’s tiramisu. I’ll include anything I can find locally (Portland, OR) or is feasible for me to get online. I don’t mind shipping, but can’t ship everything and those will have to be spaced out. Alas, there are some I can’t get either way. Maybe I can find some guest reviewers here to weigh in on those ones? I admit in advance scores will tend to seem generous as I’m not often disappointed by coffee flavors, no matter the style or strength. My favorite is classic coffee with a medium flavor profile: I’m not sure anyone will be able to dethrone Häagen-Dazs, but we’ll see. I also love coffee shop variations — cafe au lait, latte, affogato — and mocha flavors. My least favorite: really strong espresso flavors, but even then I enjoy those once in a while. After I have hunted down everything I can, I will post a huge ranking. For anyone who’s interested in playing along as an excuse to enjoy some ice cream, I’ll include the next couple of weeks that I plan to do. Taste them if you can, and share your own reviews. But right now I’m also curious to hear from my fellow coffee fans here, so please weigh in: What makes a good coffee ice cream? What is your favorite style? What are some of your go-to brands? Is there one you’ve always wanted to try?

“In a unique collaboration aimed at improving patient care, a pharmacy in the Netherlands recently teamed up with a local ice cream maker to create an unusual medical experiment. Their goal was to offer a more palatable alternative to traditional pills for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets. The result of this partnership is a custom-made vanilla ice cream infused with paracetamol (acetaminophen). The concept provides a simple, pleasant, and easy-to-consume delivery method for common pain relief medication, bypassing the need to swallow a dry pill. This small-scale innovation shows how creative solutions can be found to solve everyday patient challenges. By turning medicine into a treat, the Dutch pharmacy offers a practical example of making healthcare a little easier.” submitted by /u/SGSam465 to r/migraine [link] [comments]

summer’s coming up and my kids are ice cream monsters, so i’m thinking it’s finally time to get an ice cream maker. looking for something electric (no hand crank stuff), beginner friendly, and not a pain to clean. bonus points if it looks cute enough to stay on the counter without being an eyesore. i see Cuisinart pop up a lot, anyone accc using it and liking it? or is there a better brand out there that’s not crazy expensive but still gives that creamy, legit ice cream texture? Cannot compromise on the texture part at all would love one that handles mix-ins well too (cookie dough, brownies, etc). any recs appreciated. submitted by /u/JollySimple188 to r/icecreamery [link] [comments]

I wanted to be able to make my own ice cream to meet my dietary restrictions easier I couldn't afford the ninja creami, so I bought the Cuisinart pint ice cream maker for $25 on Amazon. Overall, I really like it. You have to freeze the bowl for 24+ hours just like you would the ninja creami. You are able to create any kind of ice cream you want. It is also a lot quieter then the creami. It makes noise, but it's something I can run while I watch TV near by. The only 2 things I'm not a huge fan of is that it says run for 20-25 minutes. That's a little longer then I would like, as I can be spontaneous with my ice cream making and I do have to plan a bit more with this. On the same note, running it for 25 minutes gets you a super loose soft serve. It can take 45+ to get a good ice cream texture. But that may be due to me making low calorie protein ice cream. The last note is mix ins have to be done after and mixed in by hand. I would say, for anyone interested in getting an ice cream maker specifically for pints, this one is an 8/10. Definitely worth the money and makes comparable ice cream to the creami submitted by /u/zebra-eds-warrior to r/icecream [link] [comments]

I’m a novice ice cream maker and I just got my first machine in august. I got the Beautiful by Drew Barrymore 1.5q ice cream maker. It worked great up until now. I was churning ice cream for Thanksgiving and the machine got louder and then it started smelling like motor oil and then it stopped. It wouldn’t start and it still stunk so I returned it. I’m nervous about purchasing another since that one went kaput so quick. I was thinking about getting the Cuisinart 2q ice cream maker, but now I’m nervous the same thing will happen again. Do any of y’all have any suggestions? submitted by /u/OrdinaryJealous to r/icecreamery [link] [comments]

I don't want anything crazy. I don't really add fruit, just simple vanilla/chocolate. I'd like something that will churn automatically, but if it's manual i'm okay with that. Suggestions?

SUMMARY On February 24th, a system-wide crash at the Fed disabled the movement and reporting of electronic cash flow for approximately 3.5 hours. During this time, financial institutions were unable to move money around and make payments using the National Settlement Service which clears settlements for the DTC. Suddenly, when the system came back online, "meme stocks" began going bonkers with massive volume spikes followed by swells of gains into after hours. We believe that due to systemwide delays to intraday settlement reporting, when the system came back online, it attempted to start settling naked shorts. Even Ryan Cohen himself attempted to point out the problem with his legendary McDonald's Ice Cream cone tweet. Ken Griffin was quick to publicly blame RC's tweet for the sudden surge and provided a convenient red herring to distract from possible evidence of naked shorts, that if revealed to be true, would open up many more questions into his positions and the continued naked short selling of GameStop. We've come to two distinct conclusions about what happened on February 24th: This was in fact an unexpected computer crash due to an "operational error". Maybe the reason Feb 24 was so batshit crazy at the end of the day was due to the computer coming back online, seeing naked short positions and starting going haywire on DTC Participants. This should provide enough evidence to warrant an audit of short sellers and market makers during the events of February 24th. The computer suddenly recognized there was an irrational amount of DOOMPS that needed to be settled than physically possible on that date, and shut down due to computational error. Now short hedge funds are stuck kicking the can every 90 days. If this is the case, the DTC/Fed should be held responsible for market manipulation charges. 1. THE ICE CREAM MACHINE To begin to understand the situation that happened that day, it's important to understand the FED system that broke. These systems are so vital to our economy that without them we are unable to process things like direct deposits of payroll, Social Security, and income tax refunds as well as auto payments for mortgages and utility bills. For Financial Institutions, this system handles trillions of dollars a day in electronic money transfers, credit, and debt payments. One of the big ones that went down was FedWire: which is a real-time gross settlement funds transfer system. This system moves trillions of dollars a day electronically for most financial institutions. The most important service to note for this story is the Fed's National Settlement Service (NSS). The NSS provides (but is not limited to) the following functions: Allows for settlement of interbank obligations in central bank money. Reduces the duration of settlement risk for participants in private-sector clearing arrangements by providing same-day finality. The operative words here are that it's used to settle intrabank obligations and offers same-day settlement finality. One of the biggest power users of the NSS is a name you might remember quite well, the DTCC. According to the DTCC website, this is how they describe the NSS for their organization and respective participants: Throughout the settlement processing day, as transactions are processed against a participant’s account, settlement debits and credits are updated in the settlement system on a real-time basis. Although the actual settlement process requires final settlement figures at approximately 3:45 p.m. eastern time each day, the DTC operates a settlement system that provides Participants and Settling Banks with online reports throughout the processing day. These reports reflect intraday gross debits, gross credits, and the net debit or credit for each Participant, as well as a net-net figure for each Settling Bank. This is also how participants are evaluated on whether or not they should receive insane levels of leverage from the DTC. These intraday reports and settlements give the DTC insight into how much risk their participants are eating up. Each participant must choose a settling bank that is also a DTC participant with access to the Fedwire system and NSS to act on its behalf when settling with DTC.Settling banks, acting on behalf of participants, acknowledge or refuse to settle participant balances. Upon acknowledgement from all settling banks, DTC collects and disburses settling bank balances through the Federal Reserve’s NSS, which directly posts debits and credits to settling bank accounts. According to the DTC, a Settling Bank may refuse to settle on behalf of another Participant for which it is the designated Settling Bank. It is the primary obligation of each Participant to ensure that its net settlement balance, if any, is settled timely. If a Settling Bank does not settle on behalf of a Participant, or a Participant that acts as its own Settling Bank does not fund its settlement obligation, it will be in default under the DTC Rules and Procedures. 2. THE DAY OF FEBRUARY 24th, 2021 ​ 9:30 AM (ET) — Market open That morning, GME opened at $44.70, showing few signs of life in terms of volume or price action. Our favorite stock had been trading sideways for most of the month and if you were around in those days, there was a lot of chaos on Reddit at the time. There was no real news to note that day. Jim Bell had announced his exit a few days prior and we'd just come off a week of our first Congressional Hearings. Things were trading sideways. ​ 11:15 AM (ET) — The Ice Cream Machine Breaks The Fed computer system crashes in the early morning. The “operational error” impacted multiple services and systems that were mentioned previously. The system connects depository and related institutions sending electronic credit and debit transfers. Almost all forms of electronic money movement were disabled for hours that day. Within minutes, the word is out on the street, and most companies and institutions are painfully aware that a problem exists, but all you can do is wait. ​ 1:57 PM (ET) — RC Tweets 🐸🍦 During the standstill, Ryan Cohen breaks 38 days of Twitter silence to share this masterpiece that stole our hearts. 👇 What does it mean? Let's find out. While the tweet opens itself up to interpretation, it's usually best to take an Occam's Razor approach when looking for answers. The simplest answer is usually the right one. Let's start with the ice cream cone. Did you know that Ryan Cohen took the Chewy board out for McDonald's soft serve after their first board meeting? While we could only imagine being a fly on the wall in those days, it is safe to assume that McDonald's Ice Cream holds some sort of symbolic meaning to Ryan. And for anyone that frequents McDonald's Soft Serve, IYKYK. That shit is ALWAYS broken. If you reverse image search the ice cream cone pic he chose, you get this result. 'McBroken' aims to fix a common problem for McDonald's customers: arriving to find the ice-cream machine is broken. While there is probably some symbolic meaning behind the McD's Soft Serve, Ryan Cohen would never expect the general public to know what that is exactly. It would be safe to assume, Ryan is implying that something is broken. At the time, many Redditors even said "Oh, maybe the dip machine is broken". What NOBODY has any decent theory on is what the frog emoji means, it sure is provocative. Well, let's see what Google has to say about that. \"I am so happy this happened!\" Quite clearly, the first reference for the frog emoji's symbolic meaning is "I am so happy that happened". If you look around you might find some different connotations that imply a mischievous manner, sarcasm, or the Kermit sipping tea meme ("But that's none of my business"). If you look back on RC's tweets at the time (Jan 6, Jan 17, Mar 4) he was quite clearly speaking in a code that featured a single emoji and a picture. When you combine the emoji with the picture, it is quite clear that RC is saying: "The machine is broken and I am so happy to hear about this." After almost 2 hours since the outage began with no word from the Fed, for any savvy investor, it is quite clear that this wasn't just a glitch or a hiccup. Something was wrong. After the January fuckery, Ryan was probably well aware that the price was being suppressed and an inability to move money would affect that. He may have been calling his shot or was laughing at the broken system that attempts to suppress and bankrupt GME. ​ 2:30-3:00 PM (ET) — The Ice Cream Machine is "Fixed" Reports are mixed as to when exactly when the Fed system came back online. Some say2:30 PM, others say 2:45, while others claim outages and warnings were still apparent after 3 PM. From the sound of it, problems and outages were gradually resolved and it's impossible to tell what services were accessible and when. That said, it gives us a time frame. Let's look at what happened to GME at 2:30 PM (ET): ​ GME with Volume bars from Feb 19 to March 3 WOAH! For a company with no news and little to no daily volume, things got spicy right at 2:30 PM. See those massive green bars? Right at the time the Fed system is first reported to be back online, the trade volume begins going bananas! Look at the relative daily volume for that week. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GME/history?period1=1613865600&period2=1614384000&interval=1d&filter=history&frequency=1d&includeAdjustedClose=true That's an 11x daily volume increase! So now can see quite clearly that the massive surge in GME tracks with the exact time frame that the Fed system came back online. So the question is, why would the Fed outage cause such a huge surge in the volume and price of GME? If you remember back to Section 1, the restoration of the Fed system means that National Settlement Service (NSS) is was back online. As a reminder, the NSS is part of the Fed's Automatic Clearing House system that generates intraday reports on participants and settles funds for the DTC. If you remember, there was no access to systems like FedCash or Check21 during the outage. It is extremely likely that institutions would have been left vulnerable during this time, unable to move money around and cover up risky assets or outstanding FTDs. In theory, when the NSS came back online, short hedge funds would have been unable to make their usual settlement deposits to maintain risky assets and keep their leverage at unprecedented rates. The NSS thusly started to settle positions intraday in order to meet the credit/debt ratio needed for settlement at 3:45 PM (ET) end-of-day. In order to support this theory, it would be smart to look elsewhere in the market that day. If the NSS started to liquidate risky short positions, we should see the same movement across the other "meme stocks". Let's look at 🍿 3:30pm for The Sticky Floor Stock What about 👖 3:00pm for Jeans Stock I need some 🧃 3:30pm for the Nudity Stock Volume on blast for 🎧 3:00pm for the Not-Bose Stock What are the fucking chances? Each of these heavily shorted "meme stocks" saw MASSIVE volume increase at the same exact time, out of seemingly nowhere. To further support the theory, each instance of the surge happened during the exact times when the NSS supposedly came back online. While we aren't privy to the logic or reasoning why the NSS would begin to force liquidations in these stocks, this correlation between heavily shorted "meme stocks" and GME makes a compelling case that the NSS was eliminating (possibly naked) short positions. We can further confirm that the movement is related to naked shorting when we look into how XRT responded in the following days. 3. The ETF Release Valve Credit to u/Livid_Peach4593 Let's talk about SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT), one of the most heavily shorted ETFs on the market. XRT is the S&P Retail ETF which included $GME as one of its securities from January to March this year. In fact, as of February 24th, GME was the highest weighted security in the fund (2.77%). In order to explain how GME and XRT relate, let's look at the "Gamestop Report" as written by Gary Gensler's team at the SEC: "As GME increased in value, price changes in XRT became increasingly driven by those of GME. Shorting XRT could have served as an indirect, though the imperfect, way of shorting GME. In fact, staff observed a large spike in net redemptions of nearly 6 million shares in XRT on January 27, which may be consistent with short selling activity". HOW IT WORKS: Let's say a hedgie wanted to secretly short X, Y, and Z. That hedgie would short the whole ETF and buy long on every other share in the ETF except for X, Y, and Z. That way their short exposure is only X, Y, and Z but their short positions are listed under the ETF. A Hedgie would need to use this method if stocks X/Y/Z are illiquid or are known to be. To support the conclusion drawn by the SEC, let's break out the crayons. Let's look at the following chart of XRT ETF Activity versus the GME closing price that day. XRT ETF Activity vs. GME Close Price (1/27-2/12) You can see quite clearly that XRT activity (daily volume) died off with the decline in GameStop's stock price. Once GME hit the $50 mark, XRT's activity quickly tapered off as low as a sub-600k volume. Let's fast-forward to the day in question. Here's a look at XRT around the date of February 24th. XRT ETF Activity vs. GME Close Price (2/22-3/10) Since GME rallied late in the day on February 24th, there was very little time to suppress the price using XRT shorts. They ultimately waited until the next trading day where XRT volume skyrocketed. At a glance, the chart might not seem to indicate that GME's price was affected, but let's take a close look at how the stock did that day: ​ Stock Date Open High Low Close GME Feb 25th $169.56 $184.68 $101.00 $108.73 Holy shit! Yes, you read that right. The stock price dropped a whopping 83 points that day. That's a massive, nearly 50% drop! Some of the pygmy marmosets in the back might be asking themselves: 'Okay, but wut all mean?' Let's summarize : The SEC has confirmed that short sellers used XRT to indirectly short GME in January. The SEC has also confirmed that there is a causal relationship between XRT volume and GME close price. XRT, heavily shorted in its own right, indicated large volume spikes after 2:30 PM (ET) on February 24th alongside GME and other meme stocks. An increase in XRT Activity on the following day (February 25th) indicates that short sellers retaliated by using ETF's like XRT to deaden any chance of FOMO buy-in, and forced a massive drop from $184.68 to $101.00 These conclusions beg the question — If GME short sellers did in fact cover in January [lmayo], why would they need to peel back the price again in February? HOT TAKE: They needed GME price action to look like a dead cat bounce. You can find articles like this one (Published 2/26/2021) that propagate that narrative. Unfortunately for them, the illiquidity was much more prevalent and paper hands had already jumped ship. They could have worked to bring down the price in AH or pre-market but the buying pressure was seemingly out of their control and/or inevitable. BONUS: When XRT rebalanced in late March, they dropped GME from its fund. For any GME short seller, this rendered XRT useless. You'll never guess who decided to pack their bags... WHERE ARE YOU GOING, KEN? 4. The Cover-Up They made two distinct plays to try and cover their asses on this. (As mentioned previously,) There were quite a few articles published that quickly framed the narrative around the February 24th spike being chalked up to a dead cat bounce. You can see articles like this, this, and this. The "technical analysis" gives validation to the sudden/random rise in price without much thought. It's 'just a silly meme stock after all'. EDIT CREDIT: u/CookShack67 found Anthony Chukumba saying this EXACT sentiment. Go figure. The most popular scapegoat for the incident was the Ryan Cohen tweet. Most of the articles that day, like this one, made him out to be some sort of meme messiah that discovered the power to move markets. About a month later, in classic Ken Griffin fashion, to cocksucker made sure to drive the narrative again in his interview with the Financial Times. Neither explanation for that day is backed by any information other than emotional fodder for those who think "Meme Stocks R 4 Dum Dums". And to be honest, the communities on Reddit ate up those explanations without even a second thought. At a glance, the tweet technically preceded the sudden rise on Feb 24th, but there were about 30 minutes to an hour of time before we rocketed. Ryan Cohen isn't Elon Musk as much as the media likes to say he is. He just likes the stock. If that's the best explanation anyone has, we think it's time to start re-opening that data and see what actually happened on February 24th. "This is Not a Cycle" Every quarter is 90 days. When we look at GME's put option activity, we can see massive collections of Deep Out Of The Money Puts (DOOTMPs) that expire on the first monthly expiry date of each quarter. This date is always on the 3rd Friday of the 1st month of every quarter. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that they have to settle those trades on those dates. Instead, they are given C+35 and T+2 days after the first monthly expiry date of the quarter to settle those massive bombs of Deep Out Of The Money Puts. Let's look ahead and see this in action: Massive Put Volume on April 16 (C+35 and T+2 to May 25) Citadel, Susquehanna, Melvin puts expiring July 16. (C+35 and T+2 to Aug 24) Brazilian puts expiring on Oct 15. (C+35 to Nov 19) When we look at example #3 (above), we can tell that it started early. That or the peak would've lasted over the Thanksgiving holiday. If they had waited for T+2, it would've given them only half a day on Black Friday to short it back down before weekly close. I know you haven't seen pretty crayons in a while, so let's see how the "This Is Not A Cycle" Cycle looks on a chart. ​ Yellow boxes = put expirations // Pink boxes = GME spikes. In the chart above, you'll see yellow boxes that denote the first monthly expiry date of each quarter (the 3rd Friday of the 1st month of every quarter). In the right light, they really do seem to look like 90 day cycles. What is actually happening is C35 + T2 occurring in the same position in each quarter. 🚨 Okay, now listen up you degenerate chimpanzees. 🚨 This doesn't mean go YOLO on options for March 1st because there's been a pattern. Just like with this most recent C35, covering could start early or they could try some method of kicking the can entirely. Playing options is inherently more risky than buy/hodl/drs and is likely best left to apes with ample experience with them and an abundance of cash. More knowledge should go into an options play than 2 boxes and an arrow. Okay, so now with all that being said, let's jack your tits with a new date. If we take the "It's Not a Cycle Theory" forward, we should see another put bomb setting up on January 21, 2022. (C+35 and T+2 to March 1). Take a look for yourself! If you made it this far and you're thinking to yourself, " I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to DOOMPs and why the hell is it C+35 and T+2? I'm lost." Hold on a moment, let's dive into that real quick. DOOMPs Credit to u/WhatCanIMakeToday Deep Out of The Money Puts (DOOMPs) are a key loophole that short sellers use to create greater naked short positions. They will use married puts from a market maker to synthetically create naked shares to short. Major shoutout to u/broccaaa for his work on this subject. When those puts expire, the marriage is over and the short positions are revealed. So, the short positions would get re-married. One of the legends that uncovered this, WhatCanIMakeToday, made a great post about this, Peek-a-boo! I see 103M hidden shorts! (Part Deux). When we look at the "It's Not a Cycle" Theory, we need to take close look at what happened in January. Let's see how many marriages of short positions got divorced on expiration: Jan 15, 2021: About 339k OTM Puts expired (the equivalent of up to~ 33.9M shares) Jan 22, 2021: About 121k OTM Puts expired (the equivalent of up to ~12.1M shares) Jan 29, 2021: About 329k OTM Puts expired (the equivalent of up to ~32.9M shares) That sure is a hell of a lot of divorces and exposed short positions! We've yet to find evidence that OTM Puts were ever this extreme before January. It's obvious that a lot of money was thrown at these OTM Puts during the runup, expecting the price to fall, This OTM Puts in January serve as the primary catalyst for the chain of events we see today. Since then, the can have been kicked over and over again with DOOMPs that pop up consistently on the first monthly option expiration of each quarter. This happens every C35 + T2 from that date. C+35 and T+2 Credit to u/loggic The C+35 and T+2 Settlement Period means participants are given 35 Calendar Days plus 2 Trading Days to settle the trade of DOOMPs. Reg SHO provides a number of different circumstances under which C+35 applies. This language repeats in those circumstances: ...35 days after the trade date, the broker-dealer that effected the sale must borrow securities or close out the short position by purchasing securities of like kind and quantity... So that's where C+35 comes from. The DOOMPs are on the books, likely being used as a part of some nonsense Delta hedging scheme and/or just as a "leftover" from some options exploitation scheme. When those options expire, there's a new need to purchase shares to make the books balance. Okay, then why T+2? T+2 is the typical settlement time for transactions being settled by the NSCC. You receive the shares before the market opens 2 days after the transaction. In other words, if you buy shares Monday, you should actually receive those shares on Wednesday morning. Why does the NSCC do it that way? Their Continuous Net Settlement (CNS) system batches all of the trades going through the NSCC into one giant pile, then cancels out as many as possible. So if I buy 10 shares in the morning then sell 10 shares in the evening, CNS just cancels out those two trades and adjusts my money account accordingly. It then continues that process such that it settles as many trades as possible by T+2. In other words, if you sell 10 shares to me on Wednesday, CNS will probably deliver those shares to someone else who bought on Tuesday (yes, before you even sold) & then try to deliver shares to me from sellers on Thursday. But what happens if CNS doesn't actually have enough shares to deliver? What happens when someone FTDs? CNS will try and find shares to deliver anyway. Typically this means CNS will borrow those securities from a willing lender, deliver them to the buyer, and charge the person who FTDs until they can actually deliver. In any case, the shares don't need to actually move until T+2 after someone hits the "buy button". Since market participants have various ways to effect a near-instant settlement, they can delay the buying pressure until nearly the last moment. So, yeah. The Market Maker can push their nonsense out to as far as C+35, which lobs a grenade onto someone else's lap (like the CNS system itself) which goes off by T+2. ​ The Smoking Gun Let's put this all together... We have GIANT piles of puts that expired OTM in the last few weeks of January. And we know that those OTM Puts must be settled in C35 + T2. If we plot that out on our handy dandy chart... Oh shit, is that February 24th? Quite possibly, When February 24th rolls around, the computer says, "Oh shit, oh fuck, we have to settle those 33.9M shares from OTM puts that expired January 15th." If it's a half-decent system at assessing risk, it would also start to think, "Oh shit, oh fuck, I also have to settle 45M more shares by March 10th?" 🤖 \Computer does math** 🤖 "This number is a total of 78.9M shares of GME which is 2x larger than the available free float at the time. JPOW, how the fuck do you expect me to handle this?" CONCLUSION We've come to two distinct conclusions about what happened on February 24th: This was in fact an unexpected computer crash due to an "operational error". Maybe the reason Feb 24 was so batshit crazy at the end of the day was due to the computer coming back online, seeing naked short positions and starting going haywire on DTC Participants. This should provide enough evidence to warrant an audit of short sellers and market makers during the events of February 24th. The computer suddenly recognized there was an irrational amount of DOOMPS that needed to be settled than physically possible, and shut down due to computational error. Now short hedge funds are stuck kicking the can every 90 days. If this is the case, the DTC should be held responsible for market manipulation charges. ​ HOWEVER... There are also a TON of unanswered questions that we still don't know the answer to: If the outage was a protocol to buy more time for the DTC and NSCC to assess the situation? What could they have done during the outage to mitigate risk? Why does the Founder of Citadel, GME's designated market maker, act like a frog & ice cream tweet is what caused retail FOMO buying? He should very well know that the price began increasing at the same time a computer system came online that handles end-of-day settlement. Oh yeah, and why did IV drop to ZERO on February 24th? submitted by /u/Prof_Dankmemes to r/Superstonk [link] [comments]

By now I'm sure you've seen my exchange with Gasparino on Twitter, but just in case: ​ https://preview.redd.it/lmk2nqvd02t71.png?width=244&format=png&auto=webp&s=7a48ea5a3eafd5b858b84b805e8f017b63e2e37f Of course, I think this is the most important tweet of the thread, and it's been really amazing to see the community support efforts at increasing transparency of markets and getting rid of corrupt practices like PFOF: ​ https://preview.redd.it/vnnkharn02t71.png?width=249&format=png&auto=webp&s=fdbcd84d149d754104de07891dd375d826355fd6 Charlie offered up some ice cream for someone who could show PFOF is bad for pension plans: ​ https://preview.redd.it/i1xo6grs02t71.png?width=587&format=png&auto=webp&s=80d03c24c5b8751b5142d724effd2b670ab4de4f So here it is - spreads for the ENTIRE market are wider by 25% OR MORE. That costs pension plans, mutual funds and even retail investors money. And it makes any figures that cite "price improvement" a joke - because the improvement is being measured by the MMers against a spread that is wider due to THEIR actions! https://preview.redd.it/co9tx1z012t71.png?width=1096&format=png&auto=webp&s=ff12d528eb51dc37b07a2cbf43effa2dec9a345f https://preview.redd.it/w6hafad112t71.png?width=832&format=png&auto=webp&s=d9e5e81f69f4d5deff833ac01a2580f36bd8d317 It's also meant that execution costs in the US are higher than other countries when you adjust for company size: https://preview.redd.it/wh6kcz1912t71.png?width=2037&format=png&auto=webp&s=380e3763602d4aa3593d9fbff4618738adbb935f That's from a study by XTX Markets, one of the largest HFT firms in the world: As you can see, after controlling for the company size, instantaneously available lit liquidity in US equities market is inferior to Tokyo Stock Exchange and Europe, and even to Korea for small stocks( below 1 bln USD free float). In fact for small stocks the conclusion is strongly in favour of concentrating all liquidity onto a single CLOB, as both US and Europe do badly there, and even FTT in Korea doesn’t affect this conclusion. PFOF, among other "market features," is damaging pension plans, repeatedly, day after day. And it leads to more complexity and isolation of retail orders, which keeps those orders from interacting with the market, and confines them to interact only with OTC market makers (e.g., Citadel and Virtu). submitted by /u/dlauer to r/Superstonk [link] [comments]
