So in England in 1912 Dinner == Lunch (US culture) & Supper == Dinner (US culture)? The Breakfast looks like the best meal. I don't think there was a culture of Tea Time in the US like in the UK (outside of the 13 colonies especially Boston).

Unlike MF Global. Is that criminal Corzine in jail yet?

California government has gone off the deep end of the pool. They can't do anything without invoking equality, DEI or ESG nonsense. They are doomed.

Sounds like the leftists are worried about losing.

I thought it was going to be Brother #1 (aka Zelensky) in his dress and high heels.

You can't make a better Twitter or Facebook or ... Social Media is a cancer. All it promotes is Narcissism & Envy. Even here on ET most threads that go on for more than a few pages ultimately become a pissing contest between ET Narcissists.

Good timing on the trade. I assume the Schwab notes must have skyrocketed yesterday?

According to the BIS pdf, US is becoming a net exporter so the commodity/USD relationship has changed. • Commodity prices and the US dollar have moved in tandem recently, in contrast to their usual statistical pattern of moving in opposite directions. • The causes of the change in the...

I've daytraded the weekly options on the volatile and liquid FAANG+ stocks (META, AMZN, NFLX, NVDA, MSFT & GOOGL). Obviously more slippage than the underlying stocks, however on the weeklies a 1% move usually translates to a 30-70X movement in the option. It is very volatile, however.

I still don't understand why her funds just don't track momentum. It can't be hard to do with all the data she has access to. She should take all her stocks and order them by pure momentum and buy & sell based on that metric. She seems to do the opposite by selling her short term gainers &...

What you said is true about the difference in the 2 cultures, but Transportation projects are not really done by private corporations except maybe these EV charging companies. Subways, Light Rails, etc. are almost always done by a government body (BART, AC Transit, CalTrans, etc.).

Europe & Asia are better these large infrastructure projects than the US. There are too many local governments here especially in California that need approval to do transport projects. I think that's the reason BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is terrible.

As long as the Fed keeps raising rates the specter of bond losses will linger. Even Schwab hasn't really come back. Inflation will keep lingering unless NATO gives up its dream of capturing Russia.

Down 1% is the new bear market. Reminds me of the threads on here in 2009 where the PPT would be summoned if there was a down 10 handle day on the ES.

Very interesting map. I guess America's allies are really Mexico, Canada, Argentina, UK & Scandinavia. I'm curious to know who the CIA was trying to assassinate in Tamil Nadu (South India)? I never heard about that one before. The map does remind me of the 1985 film Falcon & The Snowman where...

Wow I never saw this thread before. This is the second most delusional thread after the infamous Tesla Crashes to $5 thread. Of course no one will ever beat that one.

Buffet is biggest scammer on Bubblevision. He was just a beneficiary of a rising bond market. That game is over now. I doubt his endless buying of railroads & financials is going to work anymore.

Just another scammer on CNBC doing interviews but never answering any questions. The worst are when CNBC interviews politicians -- their lips move but they never say anything but cliches. Remember when the Theranos scammer was doing an interview with Cramer. He was talking to her like she knew...

Thorp was famous for saying that he thought Casinos were crooks until he started to trade on Wall Street and concluded there were no bigger crooks than the wall street crowd. Thorp was also famous being one of the early traders doing research to see if warrants were priced correctly and he...

I had a friend who was really good at these online SnG (sit and go) poker tournaments. He eventually was sponsored by some Poker pros to go the WSOP in 2010 and he got to the last day but didn't make it to the final table. So there is a subculture of former pros who invest in good online players...
