I liked this write up overall, but had these few comments: >The original 90-stock index was way too narrow to capture the massive post-WWII expansion of the US economy. They tracked 90 stocks because it was more than the Dow's 30, and it was tracked weekly in the very early versions of the 90 stock index. >Expanding it created the modern concept of "the market" and gave John Bogle the mathematical foundation to invent the first retail index fund in 1976. the idea for index funds had been floating around since the 1960s based on academic research. but it was just impractical to manage an index fund before the 1970s. Michael Lipper seriously attempted to create a Dow index fund for the public in 1966 or 67, but it never happened. Bogle did not open the first retail index fund, Rex Sinquefield beat him to it by several years with a fund that held billions at its largest. > If they had kept the rigid quotas, the S&P 500 would have missed the 1990s dot-com boom entirely and faded into irrelevance. the S&P 500 went flat for about 13 years after the dot com crash, so mixed results? >Expulsion of Foreign Companies (2002) there are still a handful of foreign companies in the S&P 500, with Linde and AON. Chubb is incorporated in Switzerland. I would also add that S&P Global helped blow up the global economy with false bond ratings, so IDK why everyone is freaking out they're bending the rules for Space X.
Was your order AON (all or nothing)? If so, of course they wouldn’t fill that. If it wasn’t, your order should have been partially filled with whatever shares were being offered <=$4.60.
Look up FOK and AON. Like OP, you’re missing some knowledge about trading high volume.
Depends on the trade. Was it AON, FIK, or what? I’m guessing you don’t know being you didn’t specify.
APO. The private credit narrative is just that, a narrative. The company has no significant exposure to software but was still battered due to the light association with BDCs. I oddly timed the market apparently as I bought at 108. I also like AIG. It still has some stink on it due to the GFC and there are concerns about the exit of Zaffino, but the new CEO was a rockstar at AON. I don’t think it makes sense that this is extremely undervalued vs Chubb and Travelers on a P/B measure (AIG trades at 1x vs 1.7x of Chubb).
That was a great time to enter in a position for $AON https://preview.redd.it/d6ptqk66slvg1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9968659cc8b489ace93c775fbdda0e8ac420df93
I sold a little and bought MSFT, will add back if we dip but market looks like it’ll be hot for a bit. Also AON PLC earning 5/1. I work here and it’s been busy haha
AON I expect to have 4-6% return by EOD 5/1. Do smt small, I work here and it’s been busy
They’re a spin off of AON, and a big company in Chicago w over $2.3B in recovering revenue locked in annually assuming no growth. Just leaned out a lot of their operations as well.
Insurance brokers are getting crushed today after OpenAI approved the first insurer-built AI app on ChatGPT - $WTW, $AJG, $RYAN, $BRO, $AON
People sleep on insurance cuz it's boring, meanwhile successful insurers are some of the greatest business models out there. It's like cybersecurity and defense without ever being overvalued or having capex. Huge moats because of economies of scale and regulations. The big players stay big. Structural success because everyone is forced to buy insurance as cost of living or doing business. Some of the safest and most stable companies with getter earnings growth than most tech stocks. ACGL, AJG, KNSL, RLI, BRO, WRB, AON, MMC, PGR, CB, and daddy Berkshire Hathaway.
You don't give specifics, so let me walk through one. TSLA Spot $429.24 Short call Strike $420 (slightly ITM) Expiration Jan 16, 2026 Bid/Mid/Ask: $33.80 / $33.90 / $34.00 30 contracts yields $101,700 at mid. Volume 782 OI 11,438 So we have an order representing 3.8% of Volume, with a bid/ask spread of $0.20, or \~0.05% of spot. What do you think? You can always use an AON ("All or Nothing") order. Editorial comment: It always interests me when people get wrapped around the axle over a $0.20 spread on a $430 underlying. With 30 contracts, that amounts to a grand total of $600, or about one-half of one percent. In my world, that's a rounding error.
Fill or kill implies IOC. You can do AON without it being IOC.
You misunderstood my comment. I’m not saying they don’t show up on the tape, they do AFTER the fact, I’m saying that the trade is completed before showing up on the tape and as it was completed through an ATS it did not have its true impact on price fluctuations limiting price discovery. Yes you don’t know which firm did the selling either way but when the order is sitting on a lit market waiting to be filled block desks and Lagos can see that. If you have a half a billion AON or are piece meaning a half billion order to the market that will catch the attention of participants who attempt to front run your order. Additional context for the claim https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2025/01/24/wall-street-enters-darker-age-with-most-stock-trading-now-hidden/
Thank you for the definitive answer. I was able to find the following drilling into the link you sent: >*(4) All-or-None Order (AON Order).* A Market or Limit Order that is to be executed on the Exchange in its entirety or not at all. **AON Orders that do not execute on arrival will not have standing in any Order Process in the Consolidated Book and will not be routed or displayed.** AON Orders will not be eligible to execute against incoming interest and may execute solely against interest resting in the Consolidated Book when sufficient size is available. The System monitors the Consolidated Book for AON Order execution opportunities.
I did another search, this time correcting "all or nothing" to "all or none" and it shows the opposite: >search: does the nyse accept aon "all or none" response: "No, the NYSE generally does not accept "all or none" (AON) orders for stocks. While AON orders are used for options and some other instruments, the NYSE's regulations do not specify or require the use of AON orders for stock trading." AI Answers bit me once again...
The Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM's) are the problem. They collectively made $573 billion in 2024. Their brokers, who are a fiduciary to the PBMs and not employers, take an 8% to 12% spread on top of that. So, roughly $625 billion in 3rd party profiteering on our pharma spend. PBM's: United Health, Aetna, Carrmark, Optum, Expree Scripts, Prime. Brokers: Marsh McClellan, AON, Gallagher, Willis, WTW etc.
CNI TLT Awaiting OTM puts when I’m more comfortable and more research / timing some earnings calls. Hunting for stocks with high dollar values that will face real, undeniable cutbacks from their customers. TYL is a great example due to their major clients being government entities that have the power to cut back or drop contracts and basically never lose in court. This short time lunacy is great because of the smart money looking ahead to stagflation and credit / debt service going haywire…it’s going to take months, and months benefit me to get my stupid spreadsheet and pricing calculations laid out. Oh and if you want just another tip, wait until the re-insurance market dries up internationally - it’s not the prime revenue stream for MMC or AON but it’s highly profitable. That’s where I spent most of my time in XLS so I can do some pretty useful planning. Bye bye Lloyds of London!
As if we could expect a country like Bangladesh to buy as much stuff from the US as it sells. Last time I checked (maybe not for long) the US was the wealthiest nation on earth. Don't you think it's why it buys more from poor country than those can buy from us? You should diversify your source of news media and definitely drop Fox and AON.
In general? No, because you didn't specify what price you are trading vs. the market price. If you are buying and bid $1.00 and the market is $5.00/$5.05, you are not going to get an "instant fill," because you aren't going to be filled at all. If you mean, when buying at the ask (market order) at the time, is there a risk of a partial fill for quantity 500? Almost no risk, IMO. A 500 quantity should fill fine, at the market. I wouldn't even expect 10,000 quantity to be a problem, though you may start to run into dollar volume trading limits with your broker at some point, where they might want to handle the trade on the Large Order Desk instead of through the normal retail trading system. But note that partial vs. complete fill is a different question then "fill instantly" vs., I suppose, fill not-so-instantly. Also, "fill instantly" doesn't save you from "slippage", if the market moves and you are using a market order. And if you don't use a market order and use a limit order set to the ask price, there's a larger chance you might not fill at all, because the market may have moved away from your limit price. You could also use an All Or Nothing (AON) modifier on your order, that guarantees you won't get a partial fill, but that also means you may not fill at all. In general, you can either control the speed of your fill, or the quantity of your fill, or the price of your fill, but not all three at the same time. You can usually control only one of those things at a time.
What do you mean, you have 3-5 lotto tickets right there. Just buy lotto calls when the market is below 200 day and then next day if it’s above 5 day buy lotto puts when it touches the 10 day. Only for next few days. Don’t get greedy 4-10x and your out since you are AON
Who the fuck PUTS AON Fridays?
Someone posted this on stack exchange, regarding a question on how stocks can fill between bid and ask, but I assume applies to options since same ordre types available. My quesition is, is this guy wrong about number 1 and 2? Don't these orders instantly create a new nbbo best, since mid means bid higher than current bid, and ask lower than current ask? Or are these orders somehow not posted/sent until price moves itself maybe?: *Various order types exist in stock trading that do not directly change or redefine the current bid-ask spread:* Midpoint Orders: Execute at the midpoint of the current bid-ask spread. Pegged Orders: These include various types like Midpoint Peg Orders, which continuously adjust to peg the midpoint of the bid-ask spread. Hidden Orders: Also known as "iceberg orders," these display only a portion of the order size, with the remaining quantity hidden from the public order book. Fill-or-Kill (FOK) Orders: Must be executed immediately in their entirety or not at all, but they don't stay on the book to impact the spread. All-or-None (AON) Orders: Similar to FOK, but they don't need immediate execution. They also don’t affect the spread unless fully matched. Stop Orders (Stop-Loss or Stop-Limit): Activated only when a specified price is reached, not affecting the spread until triggered.
Vanguard has all or none trades. I’m on my site right now. When you buy or sell stock and you are finishing up your order the option for AON is right on the bottom of the page.

I think it would be immoral not to put these thoughts out there to give uneducated investing public the chance to understand the difference between bitcoin and shitcoins.

I think the main advantage of a FOK is that the order goes away quickly if it doesn't fill. Maybe the person placing the order has an alternate stock to buy if the order doesn't fill immediately. The main advantage of a AON is that the order can remain unfilled for the rest of the session or longer time period if specified. Maybe the person placing the order is somewhat undecided and therefore is willing to let the limit order go unfilled until they get the better price.
FOK is immediate and unlikely to affect share price. Typically used for large orders. AON remains on the board and until executed leaving more time to affect pricing.
I screen the market looking for large-cap stocks that are oversold. Specifically, I'm looking for stocks that I believe will move solidly up during the next 20+ trading days. Today, Newmont Corp (symbol: NEM) met my selection criteria. Do you agree or disagree? Here are my picks this month: 2024-01-02 AON 2024-01-05 VRSN 2024-01-16 BA 2024-01-19 NEM
I bought AON Feb 310 calls @ 2.22 on 12/29... Any thoughts from other traders?
My first prediction of the year: AON I look for short-term movements where I can trade options with less than 60 days to expiration.
What options would I buy today? depends on the time frame... If my time frame is short (1 week to 1 month) I would buy AON calls with a Feb or March expiration date. If my time frame is longer (1 year), I would buy puts on the SP500 with an expiration date of January 2025.
MMC, AON, WTW those are the best
I have a question, why I rarely see the discussion of stock from insurance broker sector e.g. MMC, AON, AJG, BRO. Anyone here are still holding these stocks?
Grasping a bit, but perhaps OP is posting a bid for an amount of shares less than a full board lot, and that is why they are getting skipped over? Alternatively, they could be using a certain order type, such as AON (hitting both sides of the spectrum here assuming order size too small and now too big), where smaller trades are not executing against OPs bid. Most likely I imagine it is either an inconsistency with the data OP is seeing on the rest of the market, or an issue with their broker sending the order to the market.
I'm thinking AON calls 
I used to work for AON, it was always that way, as soon as those who were "auto enrolled" found out they could, 1. Stop contributions, 2, take out wd's. Almost always effected the low earners. On the flip side, the amount of people 55 and over with $30,000 saved up for retirement was also amazing.
It depends on the broker and the exchange that the stock is listed. Many exchanges support an AON type flag. And brokers can also internalize the feature. This is a flag on an order to specify if all or none of the order can be filled. By default - AON is not set. So in your example - unless the buyer sets the AON flag, the buyer gets what is called a partial fill of 10 shares.
Yes, exactly, and that’s why they’re given the lowest fill priority. In tos, you can find these orders listed as “AON” under “Instruction” (that’s iOS mobile, I don’t have a desktop in front of me atm)
If you place an AON combo order then you either get all or none - no partial fills. However, the prices of the individual legs may vary. The only variation on the combo price is that you could get some price improvement on some or all of the legs.
Lol ok bud, what’s your source, faux news or AON?
It's generally spoofing but based on the article it looks like they were manipulating bid prices using immediate or cancel orders. My guess is they'd put an in order for say 1000 shares above the bid price (filling gaps in the bid ask spread). Then when someone tried to sell to them at that bid price slightly above the current bid price for say 300 shares the rest of the order would be cancelled. Other players seeing this would think the price is moving to the new bid price adjusting it up expecting there to be an order for the remaining 700 shares while it was no longer there. Essentially they never had the intention of filling all 1000 shares (ie spoofing) and just wanted to move the price hence the claim of distorting stock prices using artificial factors. The market regulators really should just implement a minimum order hold time to avoid all this HFT BS to be honest. I mean just make it like a 300 ms (1/3 a second) hold. If you place an order it has to sit there for that amount of time before you can cancel it. Do away with IOC, FOK, AON orders. If you place an order be willing to accept it for at least the time it would take a person to blink cause otherwise it's just a computer on computer game at that point. I mean just look at this video of real time trading and it slowed down to less than a second. It's just absurd the amount of changes made in milliseconds that effect price before any human could even perceive the change. It's so easy to squeeze pennies off of every trade like this in between spreads across all the different exchanges, so if you have a faster HFT system and the capital like Citadel does it's basically billions of risk free trades making pennies off each trade. This is why they pay for order flow and the privilege to execute it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B\_k\_elbBz8c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_k_elbBz8c) The truth is we don't need these companies. They exist as unnecessary middle men for most trades and the reason they were allowed to exist in the first place is they went to the exchanges and offered them all a piece of the pie as the more trades made the more fees they can collect. I imagine it went something like this: Firm to exchanges: You do around 10 million trades a day right? Exchange: Yes. Firm: Ok well what if we can make that 100 million trades a day? Exchange: That sounds good, but how? Firm: Oh just let us place a bunch of these computers right next to you and we'll guarantee you 100 million trades a day that will 10x your income. Exchange: Oh wow really, sounds good lets do it. Firm exec muttering to another exec: Good thing they didn't ask us how we would be increasing it to 100 million trades a day at the cost of all other traders. I'm half joking of course as we do need computers and market makers help executing trades as it would be so slow and much more volatile to do without them, but they should not be for profit players in the market otherwise you just end up with companies like Citadel leeching off everything and making it an unfair and unbalanced market. Like I can't look someone in the face and honestly tell them the markets are based on fundamentals since like 2004 with the rise of high frequency trading and firms like Citadel securities, Virtu, etc. The HFTs have just pushed things so far out of whack for it to be true anymore. It's more about figuring out what the algos are doing more so, then it is about the worth of a company anymore.
If you want to see, do it the old fashion way, use some IOC, FOK, or AON qualifiers. Or if you’re broker allows put on a walk limit and watch the level 2. They are trying to get liquidity over there so I would imagine they might have some ghost liquidity that you can’t see. Also remember, mms are not required to show odd lot liquidity.
GTC is good till cancelled and I believe AON is all or none which means you will only buy your full order nothing less
Sally in accounting and Jenny in HR are already screwed. The company is AON who bought their competitor Hewitt. Yeah, back office is gone man.
SPY is liquid enough that size doesn’t matter. Just make sure you use the AON option if it’s avail
How do you know the market value surpassed !3.60? Did an actual trade cross the order book for that price? Just because E*trade posts a guess at the value doesn’t mean the market agrees with that guess. If the guess is the average of the bid/ask and the bid/ask is $1.00/$8.20 doesn’t mean you can get 3.60 for your offer, even though that’s the average. Basically as a seller, any price above the bid is purely theoretical. The bid is the market for sellers. So unless the bid was 3.60, all bets are off. If the bid was 3.60 or higher, it’s possible you constructed the order incorrectly, like enabling AON or FOK.
red AAPL not enough. Sub 150 AON
For those using IBKR Booktrader hot key or 1 click buttons for buy/sell, do you know if there is a way to configure the transmitted order with FOK (Fill or Kill) or AON (All or None)? I don't see it for these types of configurations for button/hot keys, but I know IBKR supports it.
I believe Alight owns AON now. I had Alight for one of my 401(k)'s and their support agents were pretty good, so I recommend giving them a call.
Yeah and it’s fairly diversified. People think of Fidelity and they think Employer Retirement Plans, Funds and Trading. They are full service and they are also ADP/Alight/AON/WTW/Ghallager. They don’t own those companies, but they provide the same type of services and tech. They also have decent market shares in those areas. Former employee here. It’s a small thing but they have paid 10% profit sharing forever to all employees on top of variable comp. Never missed, never reduced, many times it’s been more. Bonuses never missed due to company performance.
** see below ** The answer is technically "yes" if you had an unlimited amount of money the ask price would get sufficiently high that it would 99.999% likelihood of losing money so I don't know why you'd do it but yes you could... at least in theory. Melvin Capital (GME) thought they could and look at what happened to them and the market during that mess. Practically speaking though... no, you cannot buy out the total number of stock options at one strike. That would require buying more options than shares outstanding available and a market maker would be naked short selling at that point to facilitste such an order. The market is dynamic though and prices will adjust as order flow comes in allowing a market maker to hedge risk appropriately so unless you have unlimited $$$ and risk tolerance for near 100% guarantee of loss, no it isn't possible. Now if you're talking about top-of-the-book order quantity instead, which I believe you are... then yes, you can buy out the option quantity quoted but it will be replenished. This uses NBBO(national best bid/offer), more simply the regulated best bid:ask. This is quoted by a market maker(MMer) and they must fulfill the quoted NBBO for the quantity quoted for within the NBBO. What does this mean? An order must fill within the quoted bid and ask for the set quantity in the order book. If that quoted order is blown through, a new NBBO could show up from a different MMer, or the same MMer adjusting their quote. This is basically showing how readily a MMer can hedge off their risk to facilitate a trade. If you wanted to place a large order, say 1,000 contracts. Your best bet is placing an "AON" order-type. That is All-or-None and means that all will fill or none at all at the limit price you set, there will be no partial fills. This protects a trader from getting a partial fill at a good price with the remaining at a poor price. For example... a regular limit order without the AON designator fills 300 contracts at the price you want, so 300/1000 filled well but then the quoted NBBO changes so that the remaining 700/1000 will cost 20% more. Ouch. Now your opportunity is not as attractive but you're 30% (300/1000 filled) of the trade committed. So... depending if there was a correlation trade and you had other trades running with this trade that required the full 1000 you could be in a bad position having to either drop the entire trade for the loss of commissions and slippage or pay the extra cost and place the trade, that is, if it is still profitable. Typically the sequence of such trades would rely on one trade triggers another trade or working them simultaneously and filling them all or none and walking the price up/down as needed to get the fill. This would be done via an algorithm/automated trading to be as efficient as possible. Anyways. That is my knowledge to your question and hope it helps clarify some of the uncertainty. TL;DR : I'd just use AON ("all-or-none") conditional. **nothing I say is advice merely opinion
It's the number of contracts bid or offered at that price. > If I wanted to buy 5 contracts and there was only a x3 under the ask, would 2 of my contracts not get filled? It depends on what type of order you are using, what features you are using, like all-or-nothing, and what the depth of the order book is. That number is only the **best** bid/offer on the order book, there could be tens or hundreds more *worse* offers beyond that number. So if you want 5 calls and the top 3 calls are priced at $1.00, but the next 12 calls are priced at $4.20, and you use a market order, you will get 3 calls at $1.00 and 2 calls at $4.20. If you used a limit order at $1.00 with no features, you will get a partial fill of 3 calls and the other 2 will be pending. If you used a limit order at $1.00 with AON, you will get no fills at all and all 5 will be pending.
If you place an All Or None Order (AON) to buy 5 contracts at the ask and the size is only three, then you'd get nothing. If not an AON order then you'd get 3 contracts. Some traders place Hidden Orders in order to disguise their intent. For example, an Iceberg Order shows a smaller amount on the order book with more underneath. I doubt that's the case here but I'm mentioning because sometimes there is more size than displayed.
I'm not too keen on insurance companies. They have to pay claims and there's heavy regulation by the Gov and it's a slow growth industry. However, I would suggest you look at insurance brokers instead. They connect customers with insurers and pocket the fee but are not liable for any payouts. Buffet is a long time owner of MMC which is a great one some others are AON, AJG, WTW and BRO.
Usually just goes OTC if delisted. It'll cost you to trade (buy or sell) per transaction with most brokerages. AON orders become your friend. Some regain listing compliance, eventually. Twitter in your scenario would be purchased outright. You'd get a buyout at the pre-determined per share value that the board agreed to.
For financials, the only 2 stellar are on the TSE, ticker TD and ticker RY.TO. For US, only rising is V and MA, which would be expected in this environment. A few companies you might want to check for possible gains are tickers AON, APH, CHKP, ITW, NEE. Not tech darlings, but profits moving up.
Order would be filled based on priority of entry. That is saying, first order received will fill first. If liquidity exists to fill both orders, they will fill as though instantaneous, but in reality, they should be filling in sequence of order entry. If sufficient liquidity does not exist, however, then they will still fill based on priority. For instance, if you placed your order for 2 shares first (without a AON restriction), and there is only one share being sold on the ask at your bid price, then you can absolutely have just a partial fill on your buy order of two shares.
I answered that in my previous comment. If you place an AON order for 5 spreads then you might not get any of them filled if less than are available. However, if you do not add the AON restriction, you might get 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 filled. I can't speak for other brokers but at mine, the larger the order fill, the cheaper the option commission.
One combo order is always easier to fill than a large number of them because it requires less liquidity. If you place an AON (all or none order) then you might not get a fill if there is insufficient liquidity to fill all of them. An order without that specification will continue to fill if liquidity comes in.
I'm just as useless as anyone so my thoughts: Good advice - I actually am old. OP is probably PFOF pretending f old f You're right except I would add listen to conference calls carefully. The bullshit coming out of these is golden. Watch as many beat down companies go private real soon. The best bullshitter always wins in the short run so watch for that. Once you get the tone of the calls you can look for patterns of crap that other retards will buy. The better the spin the greater the win. Honestly look for the straight shooter if you want a 5 year plan. If volatility is your thing then play it as well as you can. I saw some buys that you could literally sell 4 DTE cc for 2x the price of a 1% OTM put. Buy stock and make 1.4% is better than losing. If I was as smart as you whipper snappers to figure out that stuff math wise it sure seemed like 1% for free in 4 days. It is a greater fool zero sum game right now and retail is fueling it. One guy used several AON complex trades and netted 1.2% on arbitrage 3 weeks straight with no risk. As long as you don't worry about FOMO missing a rocketship and such. The best bet is a guaranteed winner. If this is a degenerate gambler reddit then try and 'grind' out stuff when you can. That's a dividend that won't be withdrawn. I've got to say thought I was being smart in 2020 when went to dividend stocks then everybody stopped paying. Don't think that can't happen again. Some bullshit CEO can say double taxation, inflation or some other crap. Be careful with oil stocks, dividends may be great but the whole idea of a windfall profit tax may have traction. War stocks are probably safest dividends since death is always profitable. Unfortunately the punks at Davos will push the needle further to max pain this week. SNAP. This came from all the people with a 'value proposition' that turned into a public company. We saw this in the dotcom era. All I know is a 'proposition' is what you do to order a \*\*.
I appreciate all loss porn. I do insurance and one account we write had a 30mil fire loss in 2018. Killed the whole program run by an AON subsidiary lol

Same. Another one I trimmed and regret is AON
If kkur goes any lower tommorrow -0.00001, does that mean they will pay me to take the shares? If so I will do a AON order for 695,000 shares to cover the commision.....1,390,000 shares rather that way it covers the commision to get rid of it.
Yes and no. There might be brief moments of imbalance in the market that people will take advantage of, and a news event might trigger a huge volume spike in one direction...but if the MMs are doing their job, the mark of the stock will move in conjunction with the overload, because they are required to hedge their position. For example, if you were to buy 50,000 of the 6Apr 455C SPY contracts, this would amount to 3.18m shares of delta that the MM would have to load in order to counter....this would force price to increase by around 10% (by my rough calculations). This isn't linear though, the MM isn't going to supply 50,000 contracts in a single shot, so as you purchase them, the price will continue to increase in value as you try to pass through supply....accordingly, the MM should be hedging the entire ride up, which means they are losing to gamma, so they will end up pricing it even higher than normal as it goes as well. Because of circuit breakers, if there is too much movement, the market pauses anyway, allowing the MMs to re-evaluate and recover. Ever since the 2010 flash crash, AON order types have mostly been defunct, so contract sizes will slowly fill but only as fast as the market itself can handle. There are times where the metric of the stock is skewed, this isn't the same as an imbalance. For example, if we look at SPY for Jan2024, the 0.50 delta is no longer ATM, it's actually higher...because people have perceived the stock as a growth position, and its movement is priced in for it.
sold my COP AON and AMZN and bought GOOG and NVDA
Interesting example. So what you're saying is that there's many different ways to interact with the internet. You can use various linux distros, or you can use windows, or you can use Apple. At the end of the day though all of these operating systems simply interface with the same internet protocol? In the same way, there's many different ERC20 tokens as well as many different apps that sit on top of the Ethereum protocol. Sure, there's *different* protocols, but Ethereum is the most widely used and accepted, has the best issuance rules, the best security model, the most developers, the most apps, the most locked value in DeFi, etc. Similar to how many people/business can launch their own "intranet" (remember "the internet" is just a bunch of computers talking to each other), it's going to be very niche and specific. We're not all using AON's intranet to browse reddit, are we? Yes, there's many different crypto protocols out there, but they are very lightly used, have poor issuance rules, few/no active developers, poor security models, or are just very niche in their use case. Ethereum is as "replaceable" as the current internet is.
Trade executions occur on the exchanges not at brokers. The broker isn't involved in transaction price, resulting in a better fill. However, where they route your order can result in poorer fills. Robinhood is notorious for this due to routing to exchanges for Payment For Order Flow which can mean less liquidity (less B-A splitting) and lack of total execution for sizable orders, especially AON. I've used Interactive Brokers for 20+ years and their Smart Routing might be one of the best, if not the best. It takes 3-4 steps to submit an order: click buy or sell, change price if not at the market, change the number of shares if not 100, click enter. If you use hotkeys, you can place orders even faster. Editing and resubmitting an order is even easier: change share number and/or price, click enter. It's not the easiest platform to learn but once you get it, it's smooth sailing. Do their virtual trader to learn it before going live.

A couple of fliers on GGBI (polestar spac), PSFE, and ALIT to go along with whatever boring ETFs are suggested. Polestar is in a good international spot with a fairly reasonable price compared to its peers and its guidance/outlook. ALIT and PSFE are good potential acquisition targets in the next 1-3 years given their business, performance & history (3-5x current S/P). PSFE mgmt say they aren’t actively looking for a buyout but that does not mean they won’t be approached by a DKNG or a PYPL. They are trading at roughly 3.5bn and have a value of 5bn+. Financially healthy. ALIT contracts are great (TSP and lots of large market clientele). It’s a sticky business due to cost and contract length. ALIT has great reputation due to its roots being from Hewitt. Formerly the HRBPO (Hewitt) of AON. They spun it off private and then AON later failed to secure the “merger” Towers Watson. They were targeting TW’s large market clients, exchange and HRBPO…
Yes and no. The fact that Carvana bought a stake in ROOT and that rumors are constantly coming out about TSLA looking to start/acquire an insurance operation are all bullish (IMO) to the idea that Instech has a place in the market moving forward. The price action of all Instech, however, including LMND which is down over 50% from it's 1-year high says to me that investors think there are better opportunities for capital appreciation right now. Your question was about how the *insurance industry* is performing relative to the market but instead I'd say the real question is how is *Instech* doing against the market. Insurance as a whole is doing fine (look at TRV for example, PGR, AON, even GSHD as a smaller/newer company, etc) but Instech is falling way short of SPY and plenty of others. Instech is still very new and companies like MILE, ROOT, etc are losing a lot of money but generally growing. If other opportunities weren't more attractive than perhaps people would be more interested in investing in those companies right now but looking at anything over a small window like a handful of months isn't really "investing" but rather "trading".
It was AON, so no in-between
Seriously, it's a mess. Set price alerts, monitor the volume and don't jump in unless you setup an AON order to limit the OTC fees. This thread might be helpful: https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/m3chy9/what\_is\_the\_difference\_between\_volkswagen\_tickers/
Don't see GME AON THERE NOW DO YA BOIS?
American Oncology Network Partners with Precipio to Bring HemeScreen® into AON’s Laboratory HemeScreen Assays will enable AON to deliver rapid patient diagnostics for hematologic malignancies through advanced molecular screening technology ... NEW HAVEN, Conn. and FORT MYERS, Fla., Aug. 26, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Specialty cancer diagnostics company Precipio, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPO), and American Oncology Network, LLC (AON), a high-growth community oncology provider, announces the signing of an agreement under which AON will adopt Precipio’s HemeScreen® technology and begin running HemeScreen in its central laboratory located in Fort Myers, Florida. AON will be the largest Physician Owned Laboratory (POL) to bring HemeScreen into their laboratory thus far. With over 100 physicians, and serving close to 100,000 unique patients annually, the impact to patient care will be substantial. Running HemeScreen in-house will enable AON to shorten diagnostic turnaround time of these tests (currently being sent out) from 2-4 weeks, to as fast as 1-4 days when run in house. For patients awaiting their diagnosis to begin treatment, and for the physicians awaiting the results to determine the right treatment, this capability will have an incredibly meaningful impact. “The AON laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility supporting our physicians across 17 states with specialized expertise in oncology and hematology that helps to inform and direct the very best care plan and clinical outcome for each patient,” states AON CEO Todd Schonherz. “Being able to leverage Precipio’s HemeScreen technology will allow for turnaround times superior to industry norms enabling quicker diagnosis, earlier patient treatment and reducing patient anxiety.” “Having a group such as AON adopt HemeScreen is a demonstration of how the most innovative physician practices utilize technology opportunities developed by biotech companies such as Precipio,” said Ilan Danieli, CEO of Precipio. “We are excited about the opportunity to work with a group of AON’s magnitude to impact patient care in the most meaningful way possible, touching patients at the heart of the community.” This multi-year agreement will provide Precipio with seven-figure revenue per year. As Precipio continues to develop additional panels, AON will have an opportunity to further broaden the suite of assays run utilizing the HemeScreen technology.
$PRPO contract announcement According to news leaked this AM, Precipio Inc, a cancer diagnostics company, has inked a “multi year 7 figure per year contract with one of the largest oncology labs in America”. Their partnership with AON gives them a foot in the door in 17 states. The news comes at a time when the stock had been falling and has been on sale. The long term calls have been looking appealing for some time and I added to my position early this AM. As of this post the price is up 6.5% after a 20% run. This stock is one of the major ways I paid my bills in 2020, the year everyone says sucked ass. The runs are usually spring loaded and this has been brewing the past couple weeks. None of this is financial advice and you should do your own Dd before investing. Good luck! https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/08/26/2287177/0/en/American-Oncology-Network-Partners-with-Precipio-to-Bring-HemeScreen-into-AON-s-Laboratory.html Disclaimer: I do own bullish positions/options as I have watched this for years, waiting for this exact moment.
Some OTC companies are not "junk penny stocks" as many want you to believe. Some are very good companies and on track to becoming uplisted. Many have to follow the same SEC financial disclosures or they are at risk of non-compliance with SEC Rule 15c2-11, which basically makes them delisted from most major retail trading platforms. This is a double-edged sword, however. Some are late to file and get added to the list, but then file after your broker already flags them. Here is the basic TDA list that has all stocks being restricted starting August 13. Double check against this and if you're considering one on this list, reconsider. [https://www.tdameritrade.com/retail-en\_us/resources/pdf/TDA101550.pdf](https://www.tdameritrade.com/retail-en_us/resources/pdf/TDA101550.pdf) Holding stocks after they get flagged is a recipe for disaster. Got caught in that once for a stock that went delisted (bought years prior when it was listed) and it literally would have been cheaper to hold the assets worth virtually nothing than to sell with a $6.95 trading fee. Generally speaking, you need to account for the fees with your broker with OTC. Use AON (all or none) orders whenever possible to limit those fees. If you buy without it, you can get slapped with partial fill orders and multiple $6.95 fees on one single order which puts a huge dent into potential earnings. Don't YOLO into an OTC stock, but do think the exposure into one or two solid performers can help diversify a portfolio.
From [Seeking Alpha](https://www.google.com/amp/s/seekingalpha.com/amp/news/3724985-xilinx-deal-spread-with-advanced-micro-devices-widens-to-highest-ever): The deal spread between Xilinx (NASDAQ:XLNX) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) had widened to $65/share, or about 45%, the highest since the deal was announced in October. Xilinx fell 3.7%, while AMD rose 5.9%. Several other technology deals that also need Chinese antitrust approval also saw their spreads widen today. One reason for Xilinx's (XLNX) move down may be that risk arb investors can't handle the potential downside for Xilinx (XLNX) if a deal with AMD (AMD) were to fall apart as AMD's shares continue to rocket higher, according to CNBC's David Faber. CNBC's Jim Cramer also said he believed that AMD (AMD) has become a meme stock at this point. AMD shares have jumped almost 25% in the past two weeks. In addition a Dealreporter column from last night may be contributing to weakness in the spreads. The opinion piece points out that China's leaders appear to have changed their tone about the importance of technology in late May and may have put the country on a "technology war footing." The U.S. and South Korean's announcement to fund multi-billion dollar semiconductor factories may also have contributed to China's potential slowdown on approving the U.S. deals. As far as Analog Devices (NASDAQ:ADI) planned purchase of Maxim (NASDAQ:MXIM), the Dealreporter column says the timing is uncertain. Last month traders circulated a report that the timing for Chinese approval had moved out as some customer have issues with export controls, though the deal was still likely to be approved. Risk arb investors may also be "de-risking" due to heightened antitrust risk after Aon (NYSE:AON) and Willis Towers Watson (NASDAQ:WLTW) abandoned their $30B deal last week after the U.S. sued to block the deal and after a report from The Information last night that the U.S. DOJ is considering filing a lawsuit to block UnitedHealth's planned $8B purchase of Changed Healthcare (NASDAQ:CHNG). Last month MLex reported that the AMD's (AMD) purchase of Xilinx (XLNX) is expect to see a Phase Two review by Chinese antitrust regulators. China's State Administration for Market Regulation or SAMR is believed to have reached out to industry participants a few months ago to find out their views on market definitions and market shares. Other deal spreads that are wider today include Maxim (MXIM)/Analog Devices (ADI) and Coherent (NASDAQ:COHR)/II-VI(NASDAQ:IIVI). Also last week it was reported that China's review of Nvidia's (NASDAQ:NVDA) planned purchase of Arm Holdings (ARMHF) was said to be delayed. China's antitrust regulatory hasn't started its formal review of the deal for Softbank to sell Arm to Nvidia, according to a report from The Information.
Anyone been looking into WLTW after busted AON merger?
Maybe I'm missing something, but it says that Fidelity "does not receive payment for order fow or have a proft-sharing arrangement related to any order fow routed to wholesale market-makers, including marketable equity orders (i.e. market and marketable limit orders), non-marketable limit orders, all-or-none (AON) orders, stop orders, and other special order types." So, it looks like that's not the same as what hood is doing.
Looking at what I hold its not too terrible day actually. RTX +3.5% on more flights returning MSCI +2.5% on big 33% dividend rise AON +2% on broken up merger, it just cant stop going up this week. WM +1.7% on great quarter report, there's just too much trash lol Of course many equities are down, but all of them are companies with positive free cash flow so not really worried.
AON was the play today, WLTW was not.
You do not HAVE to sell, but be prepared for next to zero volume on most retail platforms. It could sit in your queue forever if it's a limit or AON sell. The fees to transfer to another platform (if any are not subject to these rules) were not even worth exploring for the value of the holdings.
Try some M&A plays. Usually shares of a company trade below acquisition price and you can pick up 2-8% in less than a year. Usually acquisitions that get blocked are those joining two companies that could dominate an industry (AON/WTW), so I tend to prefer PE acquisitions. Not risk free but fairly low risk yet higher yield. With everything so pricey it’s where I’ve been parking cash.
I do not understand a price move and I wondered if someone might help me understand, I know it is a specific example so please help me understand the mechanics involved. AON went up by 2.18 percent to 243.71 on 6-25-2021 aug 20 strike 250 call went down .77 while the aug 20 strike 240 put went up .86 If the stock went up why would the call value decrease and the put value increase (given there was a low volume on the put but there was more volume of similar character at near strikes.) The Theta would not be that high on the Aug 20. Delta of .43 times 5.23 cents move (2.18 percent) suggests call price up 2.25 maybe minus the Theta by the end of the day. No significant news that I see. I do not follow the stock, it was discovered while I was trying to explain to my girlfriend and when she started asking questions I didn't know why this one did what it did. Stock has a high short 12.51 as of 6-15-21percent with a 19 day cover! Due to regulatory attention. I think probably mostly already closed. This high short was why we were looking at it, as an example. Thanks in advance for your help.
1) In general, options trading has only a modest effect on the equity. An extreme exception would be a gamma squeeze such as what happened with with GameStop earlier this year. [https://smartasset.com/investing/gamma-squeeze](https://smartasset.com/investing/gamma-squeeze) 2) The number of available puts and calls is determined by the number of counter parties willing to trade at a given price (for every buyer there is a seller). One does not have to be an equity owner to buy or sell options. 3) Stocks like APPL have hundreds of thousands of options available to trade because many, many people/institutions are interested in trading its options. 4) The number of available options to trade varies from second to second. If the ask price right now for the $135 call is $6.00 and 100 are being offered at that price (ignoring hidden orders) then you get a fill for only 100 calls at that price. The ask price will then rise to the next ask price on the order book, say $6.10 and you can buy more at that price if you're willing to pay more. You could have placed a limit order (not AON) to buy 10,000 $135 calls at $6.00 and you'd get your 100 calls. If the bid did not rise higher than $6 then you would be the bid for 9,900 $135 calls at $6.00 in the NBBO quote. Understand that a new contract is created when both parties are opening a position (BTO+STO) so how many $135 calls you can buy isn't dependent only on the number of existing calls. 5) The effect of buying 10,000 $135 calls depends on how many sellers there are. 15 people each selling 1,000 $135 calls would suck up the 10,000 call buyer and exert net sell pressure. Today, over 128,000 6/25 $134 AAPL calls traded. 10,000 isn't always as big a number as you think.
There's more to it, but basically there is not enough volume activity. I'm seeing a total volume today as 451 shares which is basically nothing. The stock is not moving. Price is basically locked at $14.28. This is also an OTC Pink, which generally is "riskier" than some OTC's from the brokerage perspective. You'll usually get a warning that "appropriate shares quantities may not be available" with OTC Pink. If you're placing an AON order, it can get even more complicated. Some platforms basically won't let you trade anything on the OTC Pink market unless you're pre-approved or have "X" in your account fully settled. Really depends on the platform.
they will be broken up by what the bidders are requesting. put them up all at once and put a stop limit order to make sure you get the price you want. some brokers will allow you to specify an 'all or none' (AON) order then all would have to be sold at the same time at the price you specify. unless the normal volume of the stock was a few hundred for the day putting up 10k at once is not going to matter for anything.
