Too early to judge Mayer, indeed. But judging from the past performance of Yahoo's board, I wouldn't be optimistic. First, the board obviously don't know what to do or where to go, let alone choosing the right person to lead. Second, I bet the board must have the mentality of "because...

Anybody from SF Bay Area/SV who would like to hook up and find synergy?

Found ZH posted an radio interview with the......legendary(?).....Turd Ferguson, about Gold/Silver and of course, Da End Game: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/turd-ferguson-inexorable-march-higher-precious-metals I listened to the piece over my coffee break and I started thinking, if someone...

Does anybody know if IB would route option orders to CBOE's opening rotation or keep them until open? Obviously IB does not provide market data for the opening session(before opening at 8:30 Central Time). But I'm just wondering if orders placed before that time is routed or kept til open...

I decided to use PPLT instead of PTM as the leg for long platinum. sold 83 of PTM @ 20.95 (realized = 26) bot 10 of PPLT @ 177.38

I doubt if I should feel pessimistic with that chart. First, it shows that for most of the time, platinum is way higher than gold price. The fact that it deeps below gold during the early 80's is probably because of the reduction in industrial use(notoriously in catalytic converters) during...

One significant thing to note, however, is that there's no option for the physical ETN's. So hedging becomes challenging. Are you saying that there's no need to keep paper-to-paper(i.e PTM vs. GLD) or physical-to-physical (PPLT vs. PHYS) pairings? Well, I can't think of the pro's and con's at...
