anyone renting that thinks they're not paying taxes/insurance/homeowners ass., maintenance must be a total idiot. (well, maybe they're renting the basement from their mom or something)

Papa: how about the widowmaker? you still have it on? +h/-j seems to be just under a nickel these days...

It's allegedly been reported that 3 Goldman Sachs traders were observed ordering dessert at Haimchinkels Deli, while a hungry homeless ex-con watched through the window. A GS spokesman claims the three were simply adding a sweet touch to their otherwise meager mid-day meal, but you know how...

I hate Charlie Rose. He sometimes gets genuinely worthwhile guests, who's views I'd really be interested in hearing, or at least the answers to Rose's questions. But, Charlie Rose seems physically incapable of STFU, so he constantly interrupts the guests and tries to finish their...

So I have not read the bill, but what happened to it being actualrially sound? I thought it was supposed to be operate on that kind of model? has it become another "free for everyone but me and I get the bill" kind of affair? I guess I'm not surprised.

There are a number of reasons. One is that there are non-market incentives that bastardize what would normally fix itself. The federal government pays the windfarm operator a Subsidy for every MWh generated, (say $20 or so), so prices can go to negative 19 dollars and that operator will still...

Wind energy is screwing everyone in TX. I sell power here so I know. They get federal taxpayer $ to run so often prices are negative. They also cause all kinds of congestion between the settlment zones, the cost of which is uplifted (socialized) to everyone who serves load Ercot-wide...

^ what almost bugs me more is that only half of all households really pay anything for it. Half of us households have no or negative federal tax liability this year. Whenever you hear "tax breaks for the rich" it really means "tax breaks for those who actually pay taxes."

Very true. I don't deny any of it. It's still interesting to see big volume on someting thinly traded and add that to all the other little puzzle pieces flaoting around. And yes: it could be that one (or both) of the parties is just hedging another trade. Or, someone thought they'd ride theta...

^ lol what makes me think it's one party is that there was only 2 instances of actvity in these today (within a few seconds of each other), they added up to exactly 7,000 contracts, they were executed over the same exchange, etc. it's not just a bunch of onesy - twosey's spread accross the...

What kind of announcement would make long bonds go up between now and March? I guess the expectation is that it'll become slightly less out of the money and he'll exit. Something else that really surprised me is that one can buy 7000 contracts in just a few seconds without budging the...

I mean 17,000, not 1700, sorry.

I was browsing the bloomie, and it looks like someone accumulated 1700 contracts in 2 trades: 10k on Friday and another 7k today. notional value: $7.7MM. I was looking at a little bit longer term calls as a contrarian play, but someone has a big position on closer in (well, I call it a big...
