So at least Singapore and Switzerland are so incredibly expensive to live in that you'd need to be trading way more that the OP is talking about to come out ahead from the tax savings. Hong Kong and Taiwan may be similar, I just haven't experienced either place.

Given that the Venn diagram of people who are as paranoid as you and people who have actual money to put with a broker is two circles about a mile away from one another...no that guy isn't going to make a lot of money and any money he does make won't be worth the effort of working with the...

I don't think they have any major server farms in the valley. Server farm siting is down to a fine science to minimize cooling, electricity and real estate costs. The Bay Area strikes out on at least two of those counts and since they're not doing HFT at Google (that we know of) they can...

You are kind of asking the wrong question. The relevant question is probably more along the lines of how many people are hospitalized in A vs B. A somewhat related thought, what makes up a "recovered person" matters a lot. You could have had a mild case you didn't even know about except you...

Keep in mind that usually means VA care rather than insurance. That may be great if you have a good VA facility near you, or it might be not so great if you have a crappy VA facility near you.

Slippage happens because you're still doing this by hand, not them. It just means they changes their quote or their bid/offer was hit in the time it took you to read the screen and enter your order. They're changing their quotes multiple times a second in some cases, so what looks like...

Things like collision avoidance are actually far easier in the air where you can mandate that at least all the other human made flyers have the same TCAS system and you can usually move in 3 axis to avoid collision. Much harder to deal with pedestrians, bicyclists, and other random moving...

As a former professional pilot I'm obviously biased, so keeping that in mind: The technology to allow self-flown aircraft and even helicopters to go from takeoff to landing and automatically avoid hitting other aircraft has existed for more than a decade and is pretty mature. That's not what's...

All depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Certainly weeklies have a place in some strategies, some interesting things happen in the couple days before expiration to some of the greeks which are hard for MMs models to handle that can represent opportunities.

No, inflation isn't "obviously rising" at least over the tenor or those bond yields that are going down. Unfortunately stoking fears of inflation is a good political play if you're the party out of power, so if you get your news from that echo chamber then I can certainly understand why you...

At least for AZAL the buffer period is not based on when you purchase the fund. It resets every so many days on a rolling schedule, so you may buy I already at it's cap, for example, when you buy it and may reset in 168 days. Scroll to the bottom of...

But he's so humble, I'm sure he'll admit his mistake and describe what was flawed in his thought process.

You're not actually reading what I wrote. You're a smart guy, I can tell, but you're doing that thing we all do where we read/listen to someone with half an ear while formulating our response and sometimes as a result miss their entire point. If you're actually interested in the difference...

They have an entity called "The Algorithm" that decides what is and isn't marketable through a process no-one in customer service is privy to (or probably could understand if they were). It isn't a bug, it's a feature just like auto liquidation that screws us as their customers to protect them...

Your view is contradicted right in the title of the link you provided, "What is a Regulation SHO bona-fide market maker?", emphasis mine on the "bona-fide" part. The entire paper is about establishing is considered bona-fide market making vs someone abusively using the market maker exception in...

I get the impression that your view of market participants is "market makers and everyone else". You're missing that both the major market movers and those with a vested interest in engaging in what you're discussing are not MMs but hedge funds. I'm not sure how many way folks have to explain...

Like I said, there's no question she's gratuitously mean. But like I also said, the wealth didn't come from her salary, it came from her husband's work as a VC, there's a pretty clear track record for how he earned it, and that's not an unusual amount of wealth for someone with his track record...

Her husband of nearly 60 years in an accomplished VC and businessman. It's completely reasonable for their net worth to be $106M, I personally know half a dozen VCs much younger than him who are worth north of $100M and there are hundreds of them around the Bay Area. He's had plenty of...

Jan Lemiech? I don't even know who the heck that is? Obviously they didn't actually look at Pelosi's track record, as it's not any better than a passive index investor, but that's no reason to call her a "complete piece of shit human being".

So the OP specifically asked about the difference between "a few weeks ago" and today and you specifically stated that the answer to that was "The Fed is pumping 120B/month into the Fixed Income and Mortgage markets". The data I listed definitively showed that the Fed decreased it's holdings of...
