Obviously this is a trading forum, but I know several of you are diversified (and it sort of is trading anyways). Does anybody do much flipping of houses? I've just gotten going with it and quickly realizing I am going to have a heck of a tax bill, which is of course still a good problem to...

I recall reading about somebody on here backing players before in competition.

Well that's disappointing lol

I wonder what happened or what the issue is? All the car loan contracts state they can add force placed coverage on the vehicles if they don't receive proof of coverage. It seems to me in the article like they charged people for it that didn't actually need it? It's an easy fix assuming you...

Pretty interesting article I read on him a year or two ago: http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/12280555/how-billy-walters-became-sports-most-successful-controversial-bettor

I got really lucky with timing on a few positions last year where things lined up just right and it had a quick selloff basically a day or two before I found them if I recall correctly. It was a ratings downgrade and some negative news. Jumped in and worked out well.

No clue on options. Futures and futures spreads they do though.

I've never messed with VIX options with them, but I do know VIX futures spreads they seem to consistently have much higher margin requirements than what the exchange requires. At times it gets really screwy but other times not so bad. Varies a lot.

You can pretty much sell anytime, definitely takes a little bit from start to finish on the bankruptcy though. Part of the earlier returns depends on how good of a guess the market makes on what (if any) the actual recovery will be for each bond issue and pricing it at some form of discount to...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-07-18/chipotle-declines-after-outbreak-forces-it-to-close-restaurant Did you make a quick trip to Sterling, Virginia this weekend to make a little drop-off at Chipotle to guarantee fulfillment of your call?!? Talk about solid timing man

Hmm, most of their holdings are malls and things of that nature it looks like. I wonder if their property values are taking pretty big hits from everything taking place in the market currently (Amazon). You are probably correct on their NAV still being a decent amount higher than where they are...

Where did you get the NAV of $17?

What are the repercussions of something like this in practice? Do prices shoot up because people now have higher disposable income assuming nothing else changes? Sure once automation is huge a lot of jobs will be eliminated, just curious what the impact would be if say this started today and...

I disagree. The process seems less scary than the end result (but I'm 25 and speaking less in regards to a slow aged decline). The thought of not existing is a hard one to wrap your mind around and what I struggle with the most. The fact you as a person and your consciousness is a blank slate...

Phil Knight (Nike)...$6b to $25b in a year....talk about a return

I guess real question is will it hold here or sell back off again

Makes me wish I bought more. Debated on buying again the other day in the $12.5 area, but figured I already had 8% of my 401k in it so best to just keep it under control just in case.

I've got a friend who doesn't work a regular shift at his job, he hangs out around Vanderbilt's campus and will give rides (via Uber) to people who don't want to walk to class, surprisingly a ton. Anyways, I think the minimum fare is something like $5, he said he gives several rides an hour...

How is it a scam? If you sign up to drive for them its not like you are stuck with it and can't leave. If you don't make enough for it to be worth it, then just don't do it. I know several people who just drive during busier times or when they need a little extra cash and they seem to like it as...

Hmm maybe not
