I agree we should take what China says with a grain of salt. NYC has now closed their school districts. The Fed cut rates to zero and is going to inject $500 billion into treasuries and MBSs. We should be asking ourselves where that money is coming from. What pot did they rob to fund this...

Is it me or is it clear who the bulls (bagholders) are in this thread. It's like they are trying to convince themselves more than anything. Banks and hedge funds can afford to ride this out. They don't care if it falls. The head of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund (the largest in the world)...

What are people smoking talking about the 2600s?

The NBA is not a cartel. The NFL, well ... watch this.

A game theoretic model of economics (Cartel Theory of Oligopoly) argues that cartelizations like OPEC+ always break down even if they do re-cartelize. This is due to the fact that at some "finite" point in the future the dominant strategy shifts toward non-cooperative oligopoly (cheating). This...

From what I can see, yes. I imagine from what @knvijayaraj said, CME is in US; US doesn't require it. I haven't had trouble trading futures options on anything until now. I got a notification to apply for a LEI if I want to trade ICE EU. It said due to MiFID yada yada, you must apply even if I...

I have noticed that the CBOE will show you the risk-free rate for the options you search. Today the r = 0.017625. I want to be able to calculate this value. Can the r value be pulled from ibapi? I read this paper on the simulatneous solution for implied volatility and risk-free rate. call price...

Nobody asked you to post those things? Your anger is amusing. The trader doth protest too much methinks.

Another Snap die hard bites the dust. I find it interesting that @victorycountry has written 799 posts and 140 likes while you @mokwit have written 2,452 with just 9 likes. It's not a popularity contest, but I think that speaks to the differing quality and competence in the posts. I will stick...
