Nope, I was trying to discern borrow (aka implied repo rate) on individual single stock option markets.I know my own funding rate. I was wondering if anyone was about to systematically break down the "implied rate" into separate dividend versus repo forces. I would like to get a more granular handle on this. I was thinking that one could use the EE analysis on the analysis puts (ie using rate change conditions necessary) versus the EE analysis on the american calls (using projected default dividend cash amounts as a starting point). Any thoughts would be great. Was possibly thinking simulated annealing to optimize the system but it may be overkill.
