Why would they waste time and energy going after retail? Retail is just a small drop in the bucket liquidity wise for any major ticker. It's the institutions that are buying and selling millions at any given time, not retail. On yesterday's 5m chart of AAPL, each candlestick is about 300,000 shares of volume. Around 150 a share that means each 5m candlestick is 45 million dollars in activity. Retail is pretty much irrelevant in that ocean of money, they're not trading millions every five minutes.
Wouldn't it be more lucrative for them to try to stop hunt another institution and take their millions? Why bother with Joe Schmoe's peanuts?

>If a company files for bankruptcy and the shares still trade or are halted from trading but continue to exist, the options will settle for the underlying shares. If trading in the underlying stock has been halted, trading on the options will be halted as well. Quite often, the shares begin trading on the Pink Sheets or over-the-counter if delisted from the national stock exchange where they are listed. When they do, the options exchanges usually announce that the options are eligible for closing only transactions and prohibit opening positions. Generally, there are no exercise restrictions. However, if the courts cancel the shares, whereby common shareholders receive nothing, calls will become worthless and an investor who exercises a put would receive 100 times the strike price and deliver nothing.
