You're generally not even allowed to hand fly from 29,000' to 41,000', part of each airline's operating rules as part of the reduced visual separation scheme. I'm sure many of them are enthusiasts like I was and have their own little plane they get lots of practice with, at least hoping so!

It's actually a memorable point in every new pilot's experience when you realize that you feel safer when you're flying rather than being in some other random pilot's hands. When I see what to me now look like kids flying the commercial flights, at least the regionals, I do kind of wish I was...

Or it's just a bad book full of bad or impossible to follow advice, occams razor and all. Maybe we should have Zsa Zsa Gabor write a book on marriage and have a required class in high school on that as well? You seem to be confused between fiction and alleged non-fiction in your analogies, by...

I've stopped do it because I'm no longer using margin. I usually went out a couple months when I was doing it, but not sure of current market conditions.

Bigger is better for the reasons you cited. You can trick The Algorithm by putting in a GTC order opposite your position that is so far out of market that it will never get hit (and if it did you'd have an instant profit from it) and it uses those as the best bid/ask as it's too stupid to...

"Rich Dad Poor Dad", you mean the book written by Robert Kiyosaki...the guy who filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2012 after earning more than $45 million in royalties? That "Rich Dad, Poor Dad"? Aside from the questionable concept of taking financial advise from a financial failure, there are...

I think PM with them probably works fine if you're day trading watching your positions and margin pretty much nonstop. Definitely not for swing trading or stat arb.

A lot of the commodity ETFs just hold CME futures, take a look at USO for example, their target portfolio is here. Most of the leverage and inverse funds are also using futures, and although based on CBOE rather than CME futures Proshare's volatility ETFs like VIXY, UVXY, IXM, and SVXY purely...

You can sell a wide SPX box at any broker to get margin at interbank rates which will be lower than IB. No need to put up with their terrible service if margin rates are why you're there. Leverage on stocks is the same at TD as IB, in fact IB appears to impose their own more limiting margin far...

Currency futures have no impact on currency spot prices. The no arb price of the futures is simply a mathematical formula made up of the difference between the interest rates of the two currencies and the time remaining to expiration. The volume of forex spot is orders of magnitude greater than...

Well that says everything that needs to be said about both the strength of your argument and your maturity level. Listen, I know you're a bright kid and hopefully at some point you'll be a full participant in the creating jobs and economic activity part of capitalism. Until then, a little...

So we're still going with these apocryphal small business owners you "know" or now I guess have been downgraded to "interact with daily" and your zero experience, with no data to support your assertion? OK. First off, it's pretty clear at this point we've established that number 3 is the...

Maybe you could point out where I said the difficulty hiring staff is a myth? Oh, that's right, I didn't. I pointed out a very specific incorrect assertion that the difficulty with hiring was due to "The amount of red tape, employer contributions and taxes". That very specific assertion is still...

I very clearly addressed the very specific assertion that allegedly dozens of small businesses are failing specifically because of red tape and taxes. I also specifically addressed my personal experience with those two topics as well as the facts related to them. This whole false equivalency...

I have 40, which I consider small still. We have a main office with about half the company and the rest of my employees are spread out across the country. I think the worst state in terms of a UI jump was MA, but even when that rate nearly doubled for a short time it was only a few hundred...

I am a small business owner, and I spend far less than 1% of my time on "red tape" and taxes are the lowest they've been in decades. UI insurance contributions in most of the 11 states I have employees in have remained constant, but even in the states they've gone up in the total impact to my...

The cloud computing division is just the most profitable part of Amazon, not the only profitable part. The whole "in another era" trope is just silly....in another era where the internet wasn't growing rapidly, Amazon might not have gone nearly as far. In another era before lithium battery...

$4M or $7,500 per month certainly is a long way from my definition of "well capitalized"!

Might be a little too much information on your medical condition....:)

Your not wrong, just like the 2017 tax cuts in a roaring economy were a horrible idea. Two things to consider: One, there is agreement to taper https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-13/fed-officials-saw-taper-starting-in-mid-november-or-mid-december and two, it's dangerous to...
