    Silicon Valley Bank Financial in talks to sell itself after attempts to raise capital have failed

    No joking matter for all those businesses whose funds are held up. That's a lot of employees of start-ups and small businesses who are not getting a pay check for the foreseeable future.

    SVB is not a canary in the banking coal mine

    There was no reason to short it, unless someone just happened to know there were problems in da house, like a friend of a friend of those in the know. This is the Silicon Valley we're talking about.

    FINRA Fines Webull $3 Million for Options Customer Approval Violations

    I've said before, while Webull has by far the best user interface for new traders (better than TOS, for comparison), I closed my account with them in 2020 when I learned that their dev team was in China. Nothing against Chinese, but the risks of sudden closure (government or scam) with no...

    splain it to me Lucy - Tesla right after the close

    Happened to time it right, starting in Q4 2019 until the market turned in early 2021. At that point I turned from trading to investing, only adding more positions recently when TSLA bottomed. Not looking to get back into trading until 300, which I expect this year.

    Another Republican Hypocrisy

    And to add to this damning article, this doesn't take in consideration the support states are getting from Federal government activities, from military bases, NASA, various federal offices, etc. Mississippi's largest employer is a military contractor and, if I'm correct, it's also the state that...

    splain it to me Lucy - Tesla right after the close

    Are we looking at the same TSLA? I don't do options or shorts but when I traded it for about 18 months, my sell was almost always 5+ over entry. I'm puzzled re your anxiety with cents variations considering the volumes traded.

    Unions Abuse Affect Competition

    Easy, because Musk is such a media figure. Recalling my work with unions, I had to deal with some of the most vile human beings I'd ever encountered in my life. Stereotype vulgar bullies. But those will never be in the media.

    Unions Abuse Affect Competition

    I agree with some of your points. I too was very unhappy with Trump selling his tunnel pipe dream as alternative to a bullet train in California. He managed to delay the work and rally anti train Republicans. Case in point, Republicans are against the bullet train for no other reason than it...

    Unions Abuse Affect Competition

    I'm fundamentally anti protectionist, a result of growing up in a time of democratic social humanism and openness to the world and republican corporate globalism. The alternative was nationalism and war. Today I continue to believe in those values regardless of the political party. The plight...

    Unions Abuse Affect Competition

    Except that unions play an important political role. They receive Democrat political support for votes. The paradigm shift occurred when Trump crossed party lines by reaching out to the angry white votes, many of whom are in union labor, and shocked the nation by winning the election...
