he did really well signaling Russia’s intentions. It was a pretty savvy move. I think history will be kinder to him than everyone currently is.

I know but figured who would at night without one given the added risk.

seriously? what planes do you have? I assume you have your private pilots license and instrument rating since an hour ago would be anywhere between 9-11pm. I’m working on my private Pilots license but it’s a slow go unfortunately. Second time just before solo and I have to put it on hiatus for...

stop trolling. We know you live in a solid gold house with a rocket car and a Victoria’s angel for a wife, like the rest of elitetrader. where do you keep your fighter jet?

my experience has been that if you lose on gamma, you rarely have any vega left to lose on. But when you do, you might as wheel put your head in a plastic bag.

This is elite trader. Plug some head and shoulders and wedges and you can trade anything.

the OP is smart. :) But fcf matters as an investor. After you cross the risk of solvency, you don’t want your broker earning any more because it means they are taking on risk (or slightly better: gouging you). The “best” regional banks in 2004-2007 nearly went under in 2008. All their net...

Liquidity buffer is definitely important. The thesis of the OP is still wrong - profitability is not a sign that a broker is safe to put capital in. In fact, outsized profitability might be a red flag that the firm is selling icecream in the front and crack out the back. No financial company...
