Listener questions

• Question from Nickel 45: Your talk of the P&G and COTY arb had my head spinning. So I did some research and came across terms like "put squeeze" and "GEX." Now my head is spinning even more. I included one of the links below for clarification. Is this stuff accurate or just noise? Thx.
• Question from PFC11: Whats up with $PG/Coty options arb? Any updates?
• Question from Barncat: I guess this is for the Options House crew. I am an Etrade customer but I am not happy with their platform. I have been thinking about making the switch to your firm for a few months. Will my account automatically switch over to Options House after the merger or I should I switch it manually now?
