    Payment in lieu of dividends for stocks *NOT* bought on margin

    Dude when you borrow to buy any stock on margin you have no say which stock in your portfolio might get pledged on loan.

    Wall street loves Obama and Obamacare!!

    The returns speak for themselves. Look at how an investment on the S&P 500 would have done since Bush's inauguration till Obamas Inauguration And look at the returns since Obama was first inaugurated. It speaks quite loudly, I am looking at pure numbers.

    Why is a Declining US birthrate bad? seems to make sense to me.

    What is interesting is the low quality/low educated people are popping out kids left and right. Why? because they are rewarded for not studying and not working.Marriage is penalized as well, so you incentivize bastard children because married couples are much hard to qualify. This is one reason...

    My over 6-year trading experience in a nutshell

    Not everyone wins the Super Bowl. Not everyone makes it into the NFL from high school football. Not everyone makes the cut when it comes to going to medical school and becoming a doctor. Not everyone who goes to law school gets to pass the Bar and become a famous defense attorney. Why...

    Would a Japan/China war be good for the US

    I have to agree. in nature you always see such cycles occurring to remove old growth to make room for the next generation. Economic imbalances usually get corrected by wars. There is going to be one at some point but no one knows and it will be big.

    Ackman vs Icahn: This is Epic !!

    When two elephants in the room are fighting, it is best to not try and join the fight. Better to be on the sidelines and enjoy the entertainment.

    Ackman vs Icahn: This is Epic !!

    The reason both had this epic argument is thanks to TACGNOL . I am surprised the SEC never bothers to investigate. Once TACGNOL got involved it started Achman and Icahn on this path of destruction since 2003 and it seems things are about to come to a head, with an epic bloodbath to come.

    How is William Ackman doing with that short HLF position?

    He is right that HLF and its kind are MLMs etc.. The problem is not being right, it is being right at the right time. “The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” Look at the guy who was short netflix, he was right but not at the right time and got a nasty...

    How is William Ackman doing with that short HLF position?

    Options are not free. The IV on those options would have been quite high so in addition to the cost of borrow he would have to pay through the nose to go long an options position as well. My theory is TACGNOL is involved in this is situation and it will end badly for Ackman. Profit my ass. if...

    Capital Available for Traders

    Curious how do you report trade performance/returns? I mean reporting that some guy made a 40% return in one year on 200 dollars does not impress. I am seeing people on your leaderboard showing 100+% returns, that raises red flags in my book. 19% return on 1 Million assets under...

    Liberals are okay with releasing murderers but want to ban guns.

    http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/Gunman-Kills-Two-Firefighters-Responding-to-House-Fire-184678511.html The guy who shot the firefighters killed his grandmother and was released to kill again. So why not stop releasing murderers to begin with?
