trump is proving that criminal justice reform is needed. perhaps that was his intent. Making America great by showing that he can break laws with impunity.

@JSOP supports these actions. He doesn’t believe in America’s democracy nor America’s soul.

“the only indispensable person is me” -a fave maxim of Supreme Leader Trump

a lot more than would have been expected. The fact that so many republicans are giving into this charade is perplexing.

if he knew it would be leaked, he’s trolling the country with high crimes. That’s not a non-story. though I’m sure if he killed a man on 5th ave in broad daylight, you would probably blame the media.

you want to take equity style risk for a long term account. that's reasonable but unlikely you will earn the 20%/year the OP is looking for :)

the world doesn’t work this way. Stop thinking in hypotheticals and look at actual market data pre-Covid. Covid has created dislocations and opportunities on so many levels that will only occur once in a decade. edit: your OP said “low risk.” What does low risk mean to you?

It’s a good deal.

that insurance thing cost 10? Even the other notorious trade that started with an M didn’t cost that much.

Who did you see drop 10? That would be very public.

the one Greek they didn’t understand. -Steve Black at Citigroup (or I guess Solomon at the time)

I read somewhere that Tony Saliba would memorize his Greek grids. In the 90s, my firm would run their risk in a supercomputer every night and the traders had to interpolate their risk and pnl. LTCM was using leverage to add volatility. They wanted to match the volatility of the sp500, but...
