    Options bets blamed for amplifying U.S. stock-market plunge after hot August CPI reading

    I think the most important thing in today's market is making sure we have a certain group to blame when things don't go our way. I was going to blame institutional racism but after looking at the chart from yesterday I'm firmly behind climate change as the culprit.

    Calendar secrets :-)

    The secret I'm interested in most is how to not see threads from people I have on ignore.

    OK, who is going to lie and say they saw today's HUGE drop in the charts?

    We had 4 days straight of S&P up for a total run of about 250 points. In my experience, that means lots of people trying to get on the side of the consensus prediction, so there's some tension to go higher unless something crazy comes from the data. It coulda happened. In terms of the trade of...

    I don't think there's enough info here. Day trading is different from swing trading, options, momentum, commodities, diversified stuff etc... To me, they are all a bit different and require a different mindset and approach. Some of these things are more important in certain areas and less so...

    Why this maths genius refuses to work for a hedge fund

    You mean through E-Verify? Not using that for new hires is supposed to come with fines and penalties, but the gov't stopped enforcing that years ago. Many of these 10M+ are working for companies out there.

    Why this maths genius refuses to work for a hedge fund

    If they can't figure out that all they need to do is fly to Mexico and walk across the border, then they probably aren't really that smart. And in terms of being "kicked out", you need to commit a violent felony (or three) to be physically deported. We have over 10M here that have been "asked...

    Near Term Market View (Sep to EOTY FY22)

    That balance of power in Congress has been tight while trillions have flowed out. I firmly believe that if we were not facing midterms and they thought they had the votes, you would see further large spending bills. If you have different parties controlling the House/Senate/WH, then you...

    Near Term Market View (Sep to EOTY FY22)

    I notice one thing missing from your assessment and the presumed "causes". Fiscal policy. The Fed controls monetary policy. Congress and the President control fiscal policy. It's like everyone is sitting in traffic and there's a tree across the road. Your analysis is that no one can pass...

    Interactive Brokers’ Founder Says S&P 500 Could Fall 16% Before Bottom

    16%? Why not 11% or 19%? Seems pretty specific. I'm not worried until I see Peterfy's track record for predicting the future. I'm betting it's not a lot better than many folks here. Remember, he made his money in picks and shovels - not calling tops and bottoms.

    Ferrari Officially Files For IPO

    I was on the east coast then, which is probably for the best because I would have lived there and spent every dollar I ever had. That sounds awesome!!! especially in the 70's.

    Ferrari Officially Files For IPO

    I've been a huge F1 fan for some decades now, since I was a wee tot. We attended the Austin race the last few years and I religiously tape all the practice sessions, qualifying, races etc... What's always been interesting to me is that F1 is generally where all the technological advancements...

    Biden gets Fisted (Opec)

    Upon taking office, Biden immediately cut domestic oil production in the 40% range, from over 13M BPD to less than 10M BPD. They also communicated to the public and the oil companies that fossil fuel use would be dwindling sharply and quickly. XOM verified this with the WH (via letter) and then...

    The dark side of Goldman Sachs

    Fair points. She points out her version of the negative things that allegedly happened after having a few years to stew over all of it, but as you guys mentioned - the entire career was largely positive. I've been a part of organizations like this and I've got two primary thoughts after...

    Ferrari Officially Files For IPO

    I should start every post with "don't take advice from me about stocks..." or you should just do the opposite of anything I ever post about equities. Nice to see they've risen 400 - 500% over recent years. You might be able to find a sought after model with very low miles that may have doubled...

    Crypto.com accidentally sends woman $10 million instead of $100. She went and bought a mansion.

    I'm starting to finally understand why the "Crypto Bro's" love this stuff so much! LOL.

    Nassim 'Black Swan' Taleb Blasts Biden's Student-Loan Bailout

    The basic BS/BA degree has gone the way of the union. Seventy or eighty years ago you needed to go to college to hone your writing skills, acquire higher math proficiency and explore diverse topics of interest. Kids today are taking calculus in the 11th grade. Back then the unions protected...
