How are you planning to profit from this Tulip Mania #2? Are you planning to short Bitcoin when it hits 6 or 7 figures (If it ever did)?

Just another bucketshop. Never used them myself but had a couple of friends who did. Better to go with regulated brokers (Depending on the asset classe(s) you want to invest/trade in).

So you are putting an $840B market cap mark on Litecoin? Well, anything is possible, but I see this as a highly improbable scenario. Reason is it's very difficult for Litecoin to achieve such level of adoption & network to achieve such a valuation. I would say a $50B valuation would be a...

Just a small correction, the official inflation rate is much lower than 2% as per the data. The Fed says they want to achieve a 2% inflation rate, this is their benchmark mainly for them to take action on monetary policy and interest rates. Recently they changed that to achieving an "AVERAGE of...

Inflation is coming and it will be monstrous. All grains and base metals are up 30-60% in the last 6 months. And this is happening after several years of commodities under performance. The commodities new bull cycle has officially started. Inflation is coming.

If Stellar goes to $100, it's market cap will easily be $3T, highly unlikely, I even doubt it reaching $1T unless it really becomes the new Western Union of the world and captures a big part of the global remittance market share. Current market cap is just $7.3B now. Don't look at price, look...

And before you get excited, the margin now (For long positions) for just 1 contract is $108k (Initial) and $86k for maintenance. The margin for short positions is $200k per contract (Initial) and $160k (Maint.)

Physical, no, futures (Non-Deliverable), yes. Symbol is BRR, but you must enable the trading permission from Account Management.

Yes, but which number of outstanding shares? The raw (un-adjusted) or the adjusted for reverse-splits one? Check this: https://www.sharesoutstandinghistory.com/sqqq/ I believe this one provides the adjusted number of shares/units historical data. There is also the market cap history, which...

If they continue receiving fund flows (And thus keep creating more units), they will manage to stay around reverse-split after another. Once the fund flows disappear, they will eventually hit their shut-down limits & conditions, liquidate & get out.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the global macro trafficking trade?

You are short gold at a time where everyone is talking about potential inflation and where almost all assets sensitive to inflation are being bought up like crazy. Besides, gold is in a clear long term uptrend, you are against the major trend. No one can tell if gold will be higher or lower...

Agree to some parts, others I don't. Many things get invented for a reason by the inventor, yet they end up being used by the masses for a totally different thing/reasons. Whatever the creator of Bitcoin claimed, it might not end up there. Agree, but you are discarding the network effect which...

I really love the heated debate about Bitcoin & Cryptocurrencies here. Having been one of the hard anti-Bitcoin and anti-Cryptocurrencies myself before changing my point of view to a more moderate one, I can understand both points of view & arguments quite well. You can't fight a global trend...

The Eurodollar contract is a $1m notional contract, there are no mini or micro contracts available for that purpose. Fed Funds is a $5m contract as MrMuppet mentioned. What is it that you are trying to hedge exactly? What harm/risk would happen to your $50k portfolio if the Fed Funds rate rose...

Eurodollar futures. Use quarterly expiry, June-21 or Sep-21 if you want more time. The symbol is GE. This contract is actually quoted in 100 - IR. June-21 now is around 99.835 (Which means that the market is expecting the 3 month USD Libor by June-21 settlement to be at around 100 - 99.835 =...

You can start from CME: https://www.cmegroup.com/education/courses/understanding-futures-spreads.html And yes, generally, spreads will have lower margin requirements since there are 2 opposing legs in 2 different expirations, so practically, risk is lower than the outright or directional (But...

From my experience: No minimum account size (Except the min. required by the broker, IB, which is $2000 I believe as of now) Having a recent Bankruptcy won't have an effect. If the bankruptcy was due to blowing a trading account, again, this won't change things or harden the requirements as...

Very interesting stats, thanks for that. This is clearly showing the Robinhood effect and how retail participation grew in 2020 in the markets (From the reduced Avg. Trade size and Avg. Trade Premium).
