    Cohen: Hedge Fund Crowding Contributed to Losses Earlier This Year

    They all look like geniuses on bull markets that go up one way. They start to believe the lie themselves. Now that the markets are a bit more volatile all of the sudden its tough to make money.

    Did Fidelity Cheat Its Own Client Out of Millions of Dollars?

    The reason he used FFOS was because they played his ego. He liked the ass kissing and the "yacht trips" etc. I guess he was too dumb to realize the yacht trips and fancy wine parties come from his pocket. his ego blinded him to the fact that when a bunch of suits are knocking on your door and...

    My standard build. Trademaster 6700-16 (2850.56 USD)

    I bought the 6i5SYH and 16GB of ram for it and put in a Samsung 840 pro 256gb SSD I had laying around. I am replying to this thread with it now. Man it is so small but it packs a punch. One of these units would work fine as a day to day PC, using your trading software etc..

    BRCM covered calls to cut cost of a decade long marriage?

    yeah but the premiums suck for the risk your taking holding that stock and there seems to be no market for the options. Better to dump the 200 shares and move on. Options like 700+ days away close to ATM have an IV of like 4.1% That is less than the S&P 500 and this is a single stock.

    Talking about NUC's I ordered one, they seem pretty slick with the new i5 skylake chip. I am installing 16gb on it and an SSD as well. They are tiny as shit and you can use a bluetooth mouse/kb. So the only connection would be the monitor and power. (Wireless internet for network)

    New Panic Button Closes All Positions Immediately!

    Nice feature, it will close out every position across both brokerage accounts immediately as market orders, regardless of liquidity. Kind of like what Interactive Brokers does automatically but this is a manual version. Good to have in the event of market emergencies, like a dump fuel button on...

    a question about delta?

    Delta changes with price and time. don't forget gamma. In longer dated options the OTMs delta is larger but shrinks over time (ie delta drops as they get closer to expiration) while ITM's the delta is lower but as they get closer to expiration it grows. Price also affects delta (ie moneyness)...

    My standard build. Trademaster 6700-16 (2850.56 USD)

    Actually that stock intel heat sink has a copper core in the middle. It is quite effective and uses a nice delta brand fan. Its pretty quiet. And like you said the MB/case is small as well so it was the best fit for the buildout. That heat sink is designed for a 135w cpu heat dissipation, the...

    New York Fed President Says "If Economy Weakens Further, Would Consider Negative Rates"

    Rates are already negative, just not explicitly. It would be interesting when/if they set explicit negative interest rates.
