When you say "spoiled" do you mean spoiled by low crime, low corruption, rule of law, not getting dysentery eating in a restaurant... or spoiled by everyone speaking English and having access to big macs? I'm happy to deal with the latter, less so the former.

I'm not sure most married folks would agree that getting married is the cheaper option between that and a one-time 300K Euro expense!

It's an ETF that tracks an index, it doesn't have a "CEO"!

Again you confuse Nadex with a bucket shop. You can take either side of any trade, they just take a commission just like playing poker at a casino without marked cards. Marked cards would be them manipulating closing prices or something else illegal of that nature. You have no evidence of that...

As other posters pointed out, I don't think there's a good way to be consistently profitable using Nadex as their owner intends you to. Which isn't the same thing as saying there aren't ways to be profitable while still following the exchange rules.

Well I manage to ping IG's MM often enough that I don't feel that bad. Anyway I'm not sure that Nadex binaries are any worse pricing-wise than a similar OTC exotic would be, especially when you account for the typical higher cost retail has to pay and the fact that you can trade in real time for...

If you can be the other side of a dreadful and unnecessary way to trade, it can be a quite pleasant and profitable way to trade! Which you can do on Nadex and what makes it different from the dozens of unregulated binary operations that are indeed scams.

Now there's an idea, a binary "exchange" with hookers and blow. Everybody wins!

I'm not sure the word "scam" means what you all seem to think it means. There are plenty of illiquid securities with wide bid ask spreads, that doesn't make them a scam. There are plenty of instruments you have difficulty predicting, that doesn't make them a scam. You can make a market on Nadex...

For sure, big oversimplification on my part to explain the underlying principle.

Your money in your HKG bank earns 0%-inflation(hk). Your money in your USA broker earns .6%-inflation(us). You're probably assuming inflation(hk)=inflation(us). In reality, inflation(us)=inflation(hk)+.6%. So it doesn't matter where you leave your money from an interest rate perspective except...

As discussed extensively on this thread, Nadex earns it's money from commissions Their business model could care less if the customer has positive expectations or not from a financial standpoint, although it's in their best interest if they do and continue to trade on the exchange. If you think...

It's a very different thing trying to find a dev who works well in a team environment in a regular day job vs finding someone to do one-off single person jobs like the OP is looking for. Often the lone wolves who suck at working a real job for that reason are ideal for the OPs type of job.

That's a point that smart well meaning people could debate and I could certainly be convinced. It's a much different claim than than the completely false narrative than @Clubber Lang has been fed in his bubble that there was a net decrease in number of insured after ACA, which is demonstrably...

Are you disputing that millions more people have coverage now than before the ACA was enacted? That's indisputably true, sorry. For the millions who have healthcare who didn't before it turned out pretty damn good, to answer your question.

If you're asking about insider trading, they would get flagged by the SECs market monitoring team same as any other suspicious transaction. Chances are the investigator wouldn't even know if the suspicious transactions were made by an individual or fund until after they got further into the...

I lived in Oahu for 3 years, living there is very different from vacationing for sure. I found HI to be a love it or hate it kind of place. If you're a go with the flow, nothing bothers you kind of person who would like nothing better than to surf all day you'll probably be in the love it...

Which could be said about any trading. Ergo knowing a market is irrational is essentially useless.

To bring up Keynes again, "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." Knowing that a bubble is irrational is a very different thing from being able to reliably profit from that knowledge. The number of investors who have put their money where their mouth is and correctly...

I just tried and see that you are correct, learned something new. There is another company called CurrencyFair that's basically the same deal but doesn't accept U.S. customers so I haven't tried them, have you check them out yet? Alternately you could always set up an online USD account in the...
