Not legal and not even somewhat rational. As a large 5%+ shareholder, you need to report every trade you do in a stock. They would have tons of public call selling and stock buying.

In fact, even though almost everyone here will not agree with me, I can assure you the market makers are not pushing down the price during option expiration, but retail investors are. I can explain the way this works, but I’ve done that before and it just keeps back tracking to “MM and hedge funds push down the price”. The only people selling massive stock or options on option expiry is the people who are long. No one is perpetually short selling, that’s too expensive and fits no ones strategy. There are some “short shops” but they’re much smaller and do a lot less than people think.

This stock gets pumped and dumped through retail and options like all others, but people don’t acknowledge the pumps because we think it should be worth a lot more than it is, and we then say the dumps are funds who control and manipulate the world. BB are too big to worry about collecting call premiums, they were long 40m options worth of shares sept 24th and are the biggest bulls we have.
