    The narratives, they'll be a changin'...

    Maybe not. America is experiencing "record" Covid... 100k in a day for new cases. Accelerating Covid in Europe with lockdowns. My wife works at a hospital... ALL elective cases have been suspended due to the high percentage of available facilities being occupied by Covid infected. UK has...

    Yeah, exciting. Like "Thelma and Louise".

    "Massive Democrat Voter Fraud" -- Dick Morris

    I'd like to see Trump and Guiliani take this all the way to/through the FEDERAL court and get a recount of votes, where warranted, under the eyes of both Dem and Repub election officials... so that we know for sure. The future of our country is at stake. Morris used to be campaign manager for...

    Why is the stock market rejoicing if republicans have not clearly won the senate?

    Looks clear that 3 of the remaining 4 seats in question will go to Repubs. Market is likely celebrating anticipated stimulus.

    "Massive Democrat Voter Fraud" -- Dick Morris

    "Trump's lead mysteriously vanished late in the night by the dumping of secret mail-in ballots into the system.... 150,000 of them in WI, even more in PA. Republicans were denied access to those ballots to examine them as the law requires". "There is no doubt in my mind that Trump actually...

    High premium vs Low premium calls.

    Statistically that's how it works.... except when you sell them naked. That's like picking up dimes in front of a steam roller.

    High premium vs Low premium calls.

    However close your call is to ITM, the sellers have evaluated it and have concluded, "not likely to move that far within the time". As a buyer, you're saying/betting... "sellers have underestimated the strength of the issue and have mispriced it too low." Sellers get paid immediately. The...

    Bought JKS calls

    I think options were developed as "sucker bets" (commission generators)... to which you have likely succumbed. Success in options requires a high level of competence. In spite of the current rage for noobs to "take your stimulus money and pile into OTM Tesla calls... expecting them to...

    How much latency is too much for day trading?

    Personally, I wouldn't bother with latency concerns unless they are extreme, and maybe not even then... by that I mean measured in SECONDS, not MS. With prices fluctuating noisily as they do, you don't know whether the next tick or two will be up or down.... whether it will help or hurt your...

    Today reminds me of a really bad day when I was 8 years old

    I wanted to play with the kids across the alley. They wouldn't let me join in. So... I went into the house and got a knife and threatened them if they didn't let me play. (It wasn't a genuine threat, of course. I wasn't going to stab anybody. I just thought the knife would scare them into...

    Bad news. Now IB refuse wire transfer to new accounts

    New accounts are always a source of potential risk for institutions.... trying to protect against the things fraudsters might do. Can't blame them, can you? Perhaps you should deposit some money into the account you wish to "receive to" and ACH it to your brokerage account.... then request...

    Bad news. Now IB refuse wire transfer to new accounts

    That plus anti-fraud. If the broker sends money to unauthorized place, they can be brought into the mix as "accountable". Trying to avoid that possibility.

    Is ET statistically in line with national polls? Vote here.

    Sorry to disappoint you, but I have more on my mind than just the "next ES trade".

    Shame on you for wishing the death of America! :(

    Is ET statistically in line with national polls? Vote here.

    To be a market trader you have to be a capitalist at heart. Can't imagine why Lefties even frequent ET.

    Is ET statistically in line with national polls? Vote here.

    That's just voters, so far... Personally... To vote for Biden and the Left, you must be either be... 1. A hater of America and want to see our country destroyed... like Obama does. 2. Greedy. You want property to be confiscated from others and given to you... and you're just "fine with...

    Is ET statistically in line with national polls? Vote here.

    Not at all. You perceive otherwise? Maybe it just seems so as the Lefties are more vocal and obnoxious... besides being the booboisie, you understand.
