This reminds me of so many conversations we had decades ago back when we traded equities. Someone would talk about a stock going from $15 to $400 and how much money they would have made - because they called it but they weren't in it. And at some point we would tell the guy that he could...

If I remember correctly he was convicted of wire fraud or something similar back in the 90s? I thought he was banned from managing money for others as part of his deal. I could be wrong about all of this... thought I read it somewhere a while back. I agree Cramer isn't doing anything illegal...

Ethically did he do anything wrong? Sure. Legally? Maybe. The CFA designation is a bit more highly regarded than others. You could always reach out to their governing body with some queries. I feel like if Jim Cramer is still on TV barking at the public for an hour a day, then we are still...

So the Census Bureau has been failing to SUBTRACT taxes paid by workers and failing to ADD benefits paid to those not working. No wonder people were hoodwinked into thinking we had a problem. From WSJ today...

Technically if it's right on the button at $30 and it's a $30 option - it's worthless. In theory it shouldn't be exercised but as BlueWaterSailor wrote - it's up to the owner. I've heard long ago that the assignment process in these cases is random. If 100 traders own a single call in this...

You will never get liberals to understand basic economics. When they hear "free", they believe that it doesn't cost anything to anyone anywhere for any reason, and it's the greatest thing since climate change.

You got it wrong again. The banks are free to choose not to do business with companies they don't like. Texas is free to choose to not let them do business in their state. Everyone is making free choices here and can benefit/suffer accordingly. This is very different from the gov't forcing...

So when the banks cut off fossil fuel companies and refuse to do business with them, it's worthy, timely and necessary according to the left. When states do the same to the banks it's their new buzz phrase - "a threat to our democracy". Yet liberals continue to use fossil fuels and oil based...

That's awesome. It's about time places like Texas started pushing back.

Every day he posts at least two new garbage threads and then just walks away. I never thought this was possible, but I think reading what he posts actually makes people dumber.

I was way ahead of Stanley. I dumped AMZN in 1998 because I never thought they would make any money.

You wrote "the number 1.76 doesn't mean anything to me". It's about $2.

I thought it was Cramer.

Legit developers can forego a degree provided they have decent writing and communication skills. As for the coding education, with the proper aptitude and drive it's fairly easy to acquire the skills and knowledge incrementally. I know plenty of coders that can easily make 200K or more a year...

Democrats should later propose a tax cut? LOL. Lemme know when that happens. You should probably take a closer look at exactly what Trump's tax cut did for each income level. I don't care for the personal antics of Trump, but for years when he was President the media went on about...

You mean the democrats are letting it expire. They extended Obamacare subsidies, the pandemic emergency and expanded emergency Medicaid coverage. Raising taxes is necessary when your freebie list gets longer every month. Every neutral organization that has looked at this new bill (Penn...

I'm all for that test. In fact, the more knowledgeable you are about how the world actually works and about the people that are pulling the levers - the more your vote should count. If they let retailers buy and sell crypto, why are we even talking about options?

I agree. I've had him on ignore but keep seeing his idiotic threads. Multiple garbage threads every day.

If that guy was still in Congress, it would have been legal. Nothing changes until the people really want it to change.

On an unrelated note... my standing futures option orders with IB have been staying dark blue on the 1800 reopen. This has been going on for about two weeks. I have to either pause it and re-transmit or edit the price and transmit again to get it to go green. Anyone else seeing this?
