    Shortest Straw - SODA

    Maybe I'm just biased because I don't drink much pop, but I'm wondering if SODA is a good longer term short. It seems like a one trick pony. The only thing I see going for it is that it could get bought out by one of the bigger players. But why would they? Why not just create their own soda...

    Hedge Fund Millionaire Robert Wilson Has Died After Reported Suicide

    I think he could have done a better job on his end of life planning. This option left behind a mess for someone else to clean up and probably a traumatic experience for some person walking down the street.

    Can OTO orders be used to earn the bid-ask spread?

    No. You'll get a fill somewhere between 10.00 and 10.05. Probably at 10.00 and then you'll just have a limit order sitting their waiting to sell at 10.06.

    Flattened out today.

    I'm thinking pull back in an uptrend, but how much of a pull back? The SPY has gaps to fill around 138 and 135. TT

    invest in high dividend ETFs or buy to rent?

    The down side to rentals vs ETFS are the expenses. Property tax, insurance premiums, pest control, fixing broken things, management fee unless you plan to show and screen applicants yourself. Also harder/slower to sell out of your position. The plus is that some of those expenses are tax...

    Funds of Social Want (FOSW) - A Better Way of Paying Tax?

    I think at the very least when we fill out our tax returns each year we should have choices about how our money gets allocated. Sort of like how many 401k's allow you to choose what percentage of your money is allocated to different funds. That way you can fund things you support and not...

    IB - TWS - Browser Based or Standalone?

    I use the one that launches a java app from the browser. http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/software/twsDisclaimer.php My only complaint is that it seems like it wants to re-download the app every time I launch it. Also it takes a bit of getting used to if you're coming from a broker...

    We are the 1%; We stand with the 99%

    Since these people seem so eager to give their money away, shouldn't they be in support of lower taxes. That way they get to decide who gets their money?
