No one would counter with all that you have indicated.
BTW never have thought twice about the aftermath of options expiration so it really is not a serious issue in the whole scheme of things compared to anything I've posted here on NWBO. The options arena is truly a first for me and I envision it takes a lot of expertise, true luck in timing events correctly: one only needs look at the massive amounts of Oct $8 $9; $10 Calls Outstanding Interest that will expire worthless. Most were unaware of the erosion of fundamentals in China having an impact: fortunately I was, and acted accordingly. The last time I bought an option was over 30 yrs ago! So one should take ANY commentary on this subject with a grain of salt and treat it with the proper perspective...except when one has money on the line with the expiration.
My guesses have been Woodford or Goldman for the reasons left.
Either way, don't, even if admittedly naive, believe it will be a negative: should be positive unless WE are all wrong! I haven't lost sleep over it. Our hands are tied at this juncture.
Hitting the sack.
