You have a false perception of my mentality - much as, it seems to me, you also have of Icahn's. In fact, what I'm seeing is that you've already pre-judged him, and are seeking to support a confirmation bias based on a statement designed for public consumption. Do you seriously believe that he's...

When is the last time you consulted all, or even a majority of your workers about any key decision for your company? When has any company, for that matter, and since when has that become a requirement for operating one? I've owned several businesses, and while I also did my best to maintain...

Gotta love the socialist-flavored "Whether his workers like it or not" headline. It's intended to provoke, so I guess it does what it's supposed to...

Lack of personal pronouns in sentences. Causing English teachers to angrily slash "F-" across the page with a red pen since 1066.

You're right: beating "fucking Google and alikes" is so critically important that you should refuse a 30% return after slaving decades to earn $10k. You also shouldn't think about taking out the largest possible loan you can get, paying the interest with your guaranteed 30% earnings, and living...

Hint: If I sell you an empty wallet for $5, or one with $20 in it for $25, is the wallet now worth more? I agree with everyone else who's told you to buy a book and learn about option basics - they're not being snarky, that really is the level of help you need right now - but this part of your...

Damn, @Overnight. That was spooky close to what I was just about to type. That passive sentence structure plus zero evident thought or direction anywhere in the posts definitely smells like bot.

Decided to stay put where we are, right next to a lake at a beautiful state park in Arkansas, and had a rather nice active day today. $146.70 ROKU 190927P138 $4.00 $148.25 ROKU 190927P138 -$3.60 $40.00 10% in 43 minutes. I'll take it. $148.43 ROKU 190920P142 $3.40 $149.31 ROKU 190920P142...

I've seen it used in odd ways before, but most people refer to it as you describe. No. An iron condor where one side has gone ITM is no less an iron condor. A "plain" condor consists of a pair of spreads, with shorts closer in and longs further out, on one side (either put or call). An iron...

You're using "trend" in a very odd way. The fact that the Space Shuttle exists hasn't decreased the use of bicycles. Neither has the use of hammers and nails gone down significantly since the invention of dental cement. The things you're talking about are specialist tools, used almost...

Super-easy. I'll even help you do it, so you can be the Great Guru of Capital Doubling for 10 years straight. Ready? 1) Send me all of your money except for one penny, then go beg for food. Or maybe survive on raw slugs or something for a year. Sure it would be hard, but... you want that...

Hah! I thought it was the other way around... that you had magically figured out the MPS point for an arbitrarily-large number of traders, made millions shorting the hell out of their bolt for the exits, and named yourself after that success story. Maybe I have too active of an imagination. :)...

$140.96 TLT 191004P138.5 $1.10 I've been on the road this week, driving the RV back from Colorado to Florida; this doesn't give me much trading time, but I usually get some in before we take off. Today, I got a little treat of being able to put on a trade after I finished driving for the day...

Can't say I get #7 (shorting the Ulcer index? Going contrarian at price/volume extremes? could be anything), but #3 just made a little light go on. I've been testing some theories I have around vol term structure recently, and... I'm just going to say that it was quite helpful, and thank you. :)

Anyone care to take the short side against some of these firms already having foreign proxies in place?

Agreed. "Taking their jobs with them" is intentionally-ambiguous clickbait.

Do watch out for confirmation bias; it's not your friend. [1] Do you have a specific theory about why your picks might be better than random, recent successes aside? If not, then it's worth taking a little more time, or maybe running a backtest to see if you can get any kind of confirmation...

He did say "on average". So, yeah. That would be a pretty big negative number. But I'd be willing to bet money that some individuals here do very well with it.
