Antworten auf: Barclays stoppt Vertrieb des VXX

Habe auch von IB Info bekommen.

Bin durch die Einbuchung des verkauften Calls beim VXX aktuell short. Frage mich was das für den time straddle als hedge bedeutet.

Hier die Nachricht von IB

VXX – Issuance SuspensionDear Trader,

We are contacting you because an account you manage holds a short position in IPATH SERIES B S&P 500 VIX (VXX). The issuer (Barclays Bank PLC) has suspended, until further notice, any further sales from inventory and any further issuances as of March 14th, 2022.

This action may lead to increases in the borrow fee rate, decreased securities lending market supply and a greater risk of buy-in.
