    Finally amazon mandating a return to work 5 days policy!!

    Bummer. I was hoping to get a job working from home as an Amazon delivery person or at an Amazon warehouse. With all the advances in AI, I expected to be able to work from home controlling a forklift or a delivery drone. :rolleyes:

    e*Trade home page not loading

    When I type etrade.com into the address bar of my browser, the page hangs. I get a white page and tries to load and never does. It does not freeze the browser or the PC. I can close the tab, or navigate to another tab and visit other websites without any problem. Running Win 10 on a notebook...

    Pattern day trader

    It is mandatory. It is an SEC rule that brokers must follow. With that being said, I think brokers have a very, very narrow band of discretion in which they can recognize that mistakes happen, e.g., order entry errors by the retail customer, that might trigger PDT status when the customer's...

    Pattern day trader

    Depends on where you live. PDT means you can only trade during Pacific Daylight Time. Works well if you live on the West Coast. Otherwise, not so great. This post is a satire.

    Is it a ripoff?! USD 1,400 for 200K bond trades!

    From the image you provided, I'm not sure this is a valid inference. Yes, someone was selling the bonds, because you were buying them. But I'm not sure you have enough data or evidence to conlude that a seller (or sellers) placed multiple orders in which each order was to sell just one bond. I...

    GAIN Servers unavailable?

    Dude, this thing has taken down airlines, health care, and 911 call centers. Everyone is making the same mistake. And there is no easy solution. The app that caused this is baked into the architecture of many large networks. Most backup systems are somehow dependent on core elements of the...

    Herbalife as an investment

    Ummm... it's a pyramid scheme? The CEO who stepped down in late 2022 was from Nigeria... Sometimes stereotypes have a grain of truth in them?

    Can anyone be my trading mentor? (short term trading)

    No LOL I don't edit Wikipedia I pay for a subscription service--that I am not going to name--from a guy that recommends stocks for swing trading, i.e., the holding period is usually between a couple weeks and a couple months. The service costs a few hundred dollars a year. He sends out his...

    Can anyone be my trading mentor? (short term trading)

    :cool: In the Wikipedia entry for technical analysis, the very last section (before the references) is called "See Also," and it's a list of other Wikipedia entries that may be relevant. The second one on the list is apophenia. correlation ≠ causation

    Can anyone be my trading mentor? (short term trading)

    I have not finished reading this thread, but I was thinking the same thing... But I didn't really notice anything odd about the paragraph breaks. It just feels like the writing is awfully sophisticated for an 18-year old. And this is a bit of a red flag: His profile says he's from Texas. In...

    very confused about deferred loss when it is harvested?

    If you are talking about wash sales, then it has no connection whatsoever to the ratio of puts to calls. A wash sale occurs when you sell something at a loss, and then you buy it again in less than 30 days. It doesn't matter what you were doing with the other leg of your straddle, or whatever...

    Capital protected ETF

    I think it's very unlikely that it will fail. But they are not providing a contractual guarantee. They are concerned about systemic risk, among other things. And the prospectus also says this: The Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy, and therefore may be changed by the...

    Capital protected ETF

    Here's what the prospectus says: While the Fund seeks to provide 100% protection against losses experienced by the Underlying ETF (before fees and expenses) for shareholders who hold Fund Shares for an entire Outcome Period, there is no guarantee it will successfully do so. There is no...

    Capital protected ETF

    I don't have a real answer to your question, but from the prospectus it is pretty clear that they are using a collar. But they are using FLEX options, which allows them to negotiate terms directly with the counterparty. Here's what the prospectus says: To provide the Capital Protected Target...
