Does anybody have any thoughts they would care to share on Mylan? I bought it awhile back in my retirement account when all the epi-pen stuff was going on and they dipped quite a bit. All the attention they were getting from the news and politics etc, I was thinking the down move was a little...

Energy XXI is out of bankruptcy and the stock is up and trading as of today! I had 12,000 face value of bonds that I bought at $4 approx. I now have 64 shares that are trading around the $30 area. I received warrants as well I believe, but I'm not sure what the exact amount is. They haven't...

I had no plan to trade on your tip, I was just trying to create a dialogue on your valuation thoughts.

I haven't looked at it, but just curious why do you say it is overvalued?

Thanks for sharing, I'll watch it tonight. Speaking of Oaktree, have you ever looked into their stock? I saw something on them today and looked it up, they are down a decent amount it looks like. Pretty hefty dividend and a PEG ratio of around .5 when I checked Schwab today.

For SPY and SPX: Yes. I saw your earlier thread on turning $500 into $100,000 though, so assuming nothing significant has changed in your funding situation, odds are you won't need to worry about that size position for quite some time. You shouldn't have any liquidity issues.

Hey everybody, random question for anybody who uses IB and has held a company during bankruptcy, how do you obtain the documents/paperwork for voting on the bankruptcy and the plan documents? I have held bonds into bankruptcy through both IB and Etrade and Etrade is the only one that sends me...

I've often thought about this and how talented hackers could potentially make a fortune by gaining access to the emails/computers at some of the larger M&A law firms. I would be curious to know how they were caught. If it was picked up from data the SEC receives or if one of the law firms...

I appreciate the kind words sir! I am actually in the process of a complete career change at the moment. Next month I actually am going in front of a selection board to *hopefully* get selected to be an officer in the Army.

LOL I didn't even see the page with the video! For what its worth, I regularly make fun of that sensitive crowd as well haha

Whoa hey easy there, some of us aren't so bad lol. Other than using technology frequently of course, I can't think of a single "hipster/millennial" quality I have or any of my friends (well one good friend recently moved to Boston and decided to save the world instead of trying to make money)...

So interesting thing I learned earlier this year, SPX actually begins trading @ 3:00AM EST. I had an SPX position in my IB account and also one in an Etrade account when I discovered this. I was able to exit the IB position when the market opened. I was not able to exit the Etrade position until...

Yeah, but I think you're missing the point of SPX my man. Assuming each of those SPY contracts cost $100 ($1.00 price) in actual notional SPY traded $530m. This would compare to $1.6b of SPX based on yesterday's volume. So SPY traded 3x the contracts but 1/3 the total value of SPX...have to...

Or use SPX and trade 1/10th as many contracts

Not that I am very knowledgeable on this, somebody else might have a better answer, but I believe it is the way that IB does spreads. Like through CQG as an example you can trade the native spread basically like its own product. IB is different on that if I'm not mistaken so it treats it like...

Most people in my group at work make decent money, probably all individually pulling in a little more than the average US household income, and I'd say at least half would probably have an issue affording an unexpected $400 just based on comments I regularly hear. Most could probably afford...

I think you and I spoke about it back when it happened. It's been awhile so can't remember the specifics but basically had to do with some fills in the last few seconds or so not going through or having delays and then others going right through. They had an excuse for why I didn't fill on the...

I messed with them some and used Nadex. The fact the main screen has a spot on the side to enter your account info to add funds to the account should tell you a little about how people typically do. I'd recommend not touching them. And if you do, treat it like the casino and don't have any real...

I haven't read anything on here apart from the title, but in regards to the title of the thread, I have a buddy who has started building tiny homes and is getting away with building them for under $10k. I believe the most recent one was something like $6,500 for EVERYTHING including finishing...
