    Why ‘Free Trading’ on Robinhood Isn’t Really Free

    Buy 1 ES @ $2700.125... $135,006.25 Buy 500 SPY@ $270.01... $135,005.00 But there is more slippage in the SPY... 1. The time it takes to execute... that's not just "exchange" time.. it's also the time it takes you to decide to make the play, enter the order on your platform, and get it off to...

    Nobody in the world likes Trump's "America First agenda"... except us Americans!

    The US has given too much, paid too much, been on the wrong side of trade deals too much... and Trumpy is trying to rectify that. They all "scream like little girls" when the advangates they've been given (at Americans' disadvantage... and should never have been in the first place) are...

    OMG interactive brokers charts are HORRIBLE!

    I once considered IB, but their chart program would not run on my secondary monitors... just locked my system up. It's the only program I ever tried which did that.

    Cryptos are BULLSHIT... based upon nothing more than hope, greed, and stupidity

    Yes. That's the "value, worth and use" of cryptos at this time. We'll have to see whether or not it sticks... and if not, for how long.

    Do you think the markets will fall next week?

    1. I don't know about next week... "correction in an ongoing bull market", or "bear market has begun" ?? 2. IF the bear market has begun, there will be a few furious rallies which convince some (1) the dip is not part of a bear market, or (2) the bear market is over when in fact it is not...

    Buying the ask, selling the bid

    I don't see this addressed much... But everybody would like to "buy the bid" and "sell the ask", but in reality it works the other way. When you place a limit order to buy, you don't (usually?) get filled until your bid has become the market's ask... so you're not really "buying the bid"...

    Cryptos are BULLSHIT... based upon nothing more than hope, greed, and stupidity

    You don't understand your own argument. You're not analytical or inciteful... you're just a "believer". You argue like a fool. Enough of you. ON IGNORE!! I'm familiar with your kind. We have 150 Million or so just like you in the US. They're known as "Democrats".

    Cryptos are BULLSHIT... based upon nothing more than hope, greed, and stupidity

    Breakdown "your ass". You argue insignificantly! As to the "one person who can increase BTC in circulation".... well there may not be such a person, I don't know. However, there have been a few "forks" of BTC... all of which dilute the value of BTC. And while not technically increasing the...

    Cryptos are BULLSHIT... based upon nothing more than hope, greed, and stupidity

    So..you're talking about "tethered" cryptos? Is BTC that? What percentage of cryptos are tethered? Haven't there been some well publicized problem stories about "tethered"? Even if you have a "tethered" crypto, isn't that effectively the same as a debit card? And is the "real value issue"...

    Which technical question was that? Please state specifically.

    Cryptos are BULLSHIT... based upon nothing more than hope, greed, and stupidity

    Whoa! Full of holes. 1. Even if crypto is an alternative to debit card, it cannot be "usefully faster". Debit card transactions take a couple of seconds. I doubt crypto shaves any off of that. And even if it does, it's not a material benefit. 2. Cheaper? Even if so, doesn't offset the...

    Do you think the markets will fall next week?

    That's just CRAZY talk. I predict the market is going to "fluctuate"!

    Cryptos are BULLSHIT... based upon nothing more than hope, greed, and stupidity

    The real use of BTC and other alt-currencies is to be used as money. There are lots of "niche" (supposedly) coins, but their stated use is "specific". Take for example, Electroneum (ETN). I've followed that one a bit because it came "highly recommended" by some newsletter which was soliciting...
