    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    I looked at some half-a-mil units in south florida and decided to give it a pass. 1. the monthly condo fee is too high ($600+ for a typical unit), relatively new builds which makes me wonder how high it will go as it ages 2. insurance cost too high and disaster risks too real 3. sea-water rising...

    Selling SPX boxes for interest

    so i need the intended spread to be pre-configured in the order execution software in order for the clearing broker to see my whole spread trade for margin calculation? So all legs must be take-liquidity orders? is that the idea?

    Selling SPX boxes for interest

    Obviously that applies to all spread option and futures trades, so in term of margin requirement, legging in will result in debit margin, then as the whole spread completes, credit margin to the spread margin? So in case of nil excess margin, I need the execution software to route a preset...

    Selling SPX boxes for interest

    I think box spreads are 0 margin, but i wonder if i have net cash balance but very little margin availability/liquidity remains (not enough for a naked SPY option position), how does the broker know I intend to do a box spread at time i enter into the first leg?

    basic question: how java coding differs by OS ?

    Right, so it seems that coding core Java per se is the same across OS. Difference arises when we use codes to interact with the OS. In that case, I think the supermajority of those job posts asking for 'java programming in linux' is just BS, as interacting with one OS to the next shouldn't be...

    basic question: how java coding differs by OS ?

    That kinda what I have guessed, as most OS-specific details are handled by the IDE s.t. coders shouldn't have to care. Java EE in a Unix environment might be a different story, but where I see are job posts for developers for some trading shops.

    basic question: how java coding differs by OS ?

    I understand how IDE can be different (like using visual studio in windows) but IDE differences should just be cosmetic having no real differences for a programmer (like webbrowsing with firefox vs chrome?). For typical applications in Java SE, the codes I write are the same, compile/execute...

    basic question: how java coding differs by OS ?

    Sorry to be a dumb question but can someone tell me how does programming Java (SE) differ between Linux Ubuntu and Windows OS? I see some recruiters and some books talk as if java programming in Ubuntu is different from Windows. I use IntelliJ and DrJava in both Ubuntu and Windows and don't...
