That's the bottom line!

One important note on these, they can wreak havoc with a 401K or IRA if they're over something like $1,000 in a year. I know all the PE company listed stock has this issue.

While generally liberal, the anti-vaxers and the "cell phone towers/smart meters/other radios cause cancer" morons absolutely infuriate me! I will say it probably wasn't a good idea to use a name ("small cell") associated with cancer to name your 5G system!

Not to mention all the people who've been babbling about such things for years and not been killed. I think basic logic tends to elude these conspiracy nuts. Who also think Russia makes up a major part of the world economy apparently.

What in the world would indicate I was taking any of this idiocy personally, that would require me to think you knew fuckall about the subjects upon which you are pontificating!

I'm not a fan of cults either, and especially not Jobs. But building the church is a skill in and of itself.

Calm now, not worth getting worked up about. Someone was saying he and Holmes were the same. I'm simply pointing out that PayPal is a pretty damn good accomplishment against her none. And against the rest of us truth be told. Not sure what it is about the guy that pushes your buttons but you...

Actually you'd need to get oil to stop being denominated in dollars, Russia to have an economy that was more that 2% of the world's GDP, China to cut off the 25% of their exports that go to the U.S. and be willing to write off most of the trillion in USD denominated US debt they hold (Trump's...

Except that Elon actually co-built a little company called PayPal that nearly 20 years later is still the dominant player in its field. That's an accomplishment that neither Holmes or any of the armchair quarterbacks here on ET have under their belt.

You (and those like you) are probably the only one's who could potentially really make anything out of this case. Granted you weren't in on the manipulation:D

What you're saying doesn't make any sense. If he had the wherewithal to enter into OTC contracts then they were exactly that, over the counter unique contracts between Berkshire and the counterparty the terms of which were unique to each contract which obviously didn't have a mark to market...

Yeah, you're gonna have to explain that, it's not the kind of accusation you can just lob out and expect this group to lap up without further details.

Millions of lawsuits get filed, very few get class action status and even fewer succeed. Nothing to get excited about at this point. While it is possible VIX is manipulated the most likely cases are a matter of very small amounts at the settlement. Guessing most people here aren't greatly...

There's no "should" when it comes to knowledge. I personally would be bored practically to suicide if I could only be interested in purely practical knowledge that I could apply now. I'd also be far worse at everything I do including trading. I would say especially in trading that a broad...

That's a very useful idea. I wonder though if the companies listed on exchanges outside the home country don't make most of their revenue from exports so they're relatively unexposed to their own currency's weakness?

Not sure there is anywhere to trade this particular forex pair, and if there was the roll interest would be massive enough to counteract the expected decay of the currency.

You asked a question, I answered it. My view of the world doesn't require everything be neatly divided into a pro or a con. Intellectual curiosity doesn't require that, and crazy as it may sound to you, I and many others can and do trade forex while at the same time being interested in all...

If you're into things like currency you're interested in Zimbabwe because of it's extreme inflation which has been orders of magnitude greater then any other in recent times. If you're not interested in currency, may I suggest hanging out somewhere other than a currency forum. Perhaps TMZ?

You're right, I agree with you.

I'll come right out and say it, the real villians in these things are senior citizens who lobbied to get massive breaks on the backs of everyone else based solely on the fact they're old and on a "fixed income". Never mind that for many that "fixed income" is many times what hard working folks...
