We are simply highlighting the absurdity of your "bad dude" metric. Still waiting for details on where that shows up in the law or how one would know, so absent any substance from you we're left to joke around about what you could possibly mean.

I think there's more to this story. I agree, if I manipulate the underlying or allow it to be manipulated and trade futures based on that manipulation they can and should prosecute me for breaking the futures laws. But they have no authority of the underlying absent my participation in the...

Generally brown or black skin for the "bad dudes" as well, don't forget that!

Silly me, I thought all warrants are to "go after bad dudes". Can you enlighten us with the warrants that are used to go after good dudes. Like Flynn, he was a good dude because although he broke the law and pled guilty to a felony he agrees with your political viewpoint? While you're at it...

Additionally I'm not sure there is a market maker type continuous market for these like the more common commodities. They are more cleared OTC brokered deals. And to get someone to invest the time to line up a counterparty for you, you'd need to be doing large transactions.

It was actually an interesting exercise in alternate reality on Friday. If you went to Fox you would believe that indeed the entire FBI had conspired to take down Trump and this memo was proof positive. Hell Hanity was even saying Flynn and Manafort should have all charges dropped against them...

You do need to remember that valuation on a startup is a different universe from valuation of a publicly listed company. The (highly oversimplified) VC model is that you make 100 investments fully expecting 80 to fail completely, 10 to be "zombies" which is what the rest of the world calls a...

You're making an assumption that the individual stocks fall on open because they're being arbitraged to match ES. If ES didn't trade overnight, whatever it was that was putting downward pressure on the index would still exist and stocks would still gap down on open. ES is the tail and I don't...

Who says market makers have to "do anything with" resting orders from non-market makers?

I've heard that the service you receive from IB very much depends on where you are and how much money you have with them. It could very well be if you have mid 7 figures with them and/or are calling their Hong Kong or Canada office you are getting a very different user experience than the OP...

I want to add as a less snarky reply, if you're truly interested in finance, and it appears you are, invest some time into a finance 101 and prob/stats 101 course. There are some great MOOCs that are free taught by top professors from top universities. There is a whole world out there in Modern...

Well the military in peacetime, clearly parasites. Trillions wasted on a nuclear arsenal we must have wasted because we never used it. Firefighters when there isn't a fire. Oil spill cleanup teams when there isn't an oil spill. The list is almost infinite.

What division of GS is engaging in spoofing again? Their HFT prop trading division that was banned by the Volcker Rule but is still operating in secret and only you know about it. Or is GS just a convenient proxy for "them" to use as a foil to blame for any losses one suffers in the market...

So that's got to be one of the clunkiest, most obtuse, counterintuitive, and difficult to learn UIs in regular use today, clearly kludged together over decades. I've gotta ask why in the world anyone would want their source code for anything except material for the "not that" portion of a "Do...

That's what career civil service is. The vast majority of government at the federal, state, and local level are non-political merit hire career employees. They're also derisively called bureaucrats, often with some choice modifiers added in. And I've also heard the term "unelected bureaucrat"...

So an institutional player doing transactions worth hundreds of millions is manipulating the market to what, run your stops and take $1,000 off you? Don't flatter yourself.

You have any other examples of a "goofy consensus" scientists came up with, using that goofy scientific method of theirs, that good old common sense people like you exposed as a fraud? I mean your use of the word "always" implies it happens all the time. Are you talking about that whole earth...

Manipulated by whom?

I don't think you understand how the $3,000 loss limitation works in any situation, you always net your profits and losses with the only caveat being how you match long and short term losses and gains. In no situation with any investment would you pay taxes as you described.

One other area that most don't normally think of as an investment, making your own electricity. Depending on your local electric rates, usage, and the power of your local monopoly utility to influence legislators, you can get some pretty decent return on installing solar to offset your electric...
