Interesting fact, cranberries are controlled by a cabal called Ocean Spray that would put everyone in charge of it in jail for a long long time if they were subject to the same anti-trust laws as every other for-profit business in the U.S. But they are but poor farmers banding together as a...

The saddest part of this is that China's leaders know the U.S. down to the point that they understand something as obscure as the cranberry industry and how it impacts Ryan's congressional district. Meanwhile Trump and most of his cabinet would be challenged to find the entire country of China...

I stand corrected and learned something new, thanks!

I know it's inconvenient for you, but I'll ask for a third time the questions you've been studiously avoiding. How does taxing SME advertisers of Google address your gripe? How is Uber "stealing from the poor"? If you want to start another topic about something completely different then start...

Really? Seems like double leveraging. Any U.S. exchanges do this? Welcome back, BTW!

So you're concerned about Google funneling money through other tax regimes so your response is to tax the Australian SMEs that advertise on Google? Explain how that makes any sense again. Explain how that's "ripping off the poor"? There are lots of bad corporate actors in Australia, U.S. tech...

By definition they're earning more than their alternative salary, so while I'm not certain of the definition of sweet fuck all by context it appears to mean "better than the best salary the Australian government's economy could provide them"? Not sure how said govt could be against that, or you...

You know you're having a bad day when this is what you see when you type in your broker's URL:

Long options on futures require the full purchase price upfront, anywhere. The question doesn't even really make sense, even accounting for the potential language barrier?

Sorry but I gotta go all conservative on you with this one. How exactly is Google "ripping off the poor"? I'm generally considered a bleeding heart liberal round these parts when I point out mindless ideology on the right. I'll point out that this is the same type of mindless ideology on the...

Yeah, that's where I would have expected it rather than ES. Probably some people sweating today, hope they sweep them all up!

When one writes an article like that which uses share price to compare relative size of 2 companies without once mentioning market cap it tells me they don't have the first clue on the subject. Then picking some completely arbitrary and meaningless metric (one has six clinics, the other has...

It always did seem relatively easy to do with the less liquid contracts, but not using ES of all things! He must have picked some pretty quiet days/times of day to pull that off.

Would transferwise work? They have a couple options, the multi-currency account might be the best one for what you're trying to do.

My point exactly. If you're talking about the tax burden on poor little Aas personally then we have to talk about his entire tax burden and the benefits he gets from it so you have to start talking about VAT and property tax and health insurance costs and .... If you want to discuss corporate...

Well like all attempts to oversimplify a complex subject, this article misses on a lot of fronts. First, it assumes it was all salary. Which it almost certainly wouldn't be in the U.S. and may or may not be in Norway. And when you reach that level there are a lot of special purpose entity setups...

Largely funded by oil!

IB actually reserves the right to hold your order until it becomes "marketable" which is completely up to their discretion and controlled by a dark force that no-one there can question called "the algorithm". In some cases "the algorithm"decides that even an order inside the bid/ask spread isn't...

Silicon Valley had peaked for all those exact same reasons in 2000, and again in 2008...hell I've been waiting since I first moved to the Bay Area in 1998 for housing prices to become "affordable". And I'm not sure Thiel could be called a trend, he's one of hundreds exactly like him. I'm in the...

With ZeroHedge closer to 5% of the distance toward the middle! It's the Breitbart of financial news.
