That's a bad omen... The value of your account is headed south.

Never heard of Firstrade, or if I had, don't remember. Looks like they have been around for awhile, and they have a lot to offer. Why don't you use them for real trading? Looks like they don't offer accounts to business entities, which is weird, because they do offer accounts to estates and...

@murray t turtle Your slashes are backwards. :confused: That character is only used in computer code and other really esoteric contexts. The regular slash, on a typical American keyboard, is the key that has the question mark.

They were literally trying to reinvent the wheel LOL The title of the Bloomberg article sounds like something out of The Onion "United Nations to shut down after failing to achieve world peace"

This is a free practice test: https://www.mometrix.com/academy/series-3-practice-test/ After a few questions, you have to enter your e-mail in order to continue. But it never asked me for anything else. No name, no phone number, nothing. And I was able to complete the practice test, and see...

In my abundant free time o_O I like to hunt for the most kinky, arcane and esoteric securities that are available to a retail investor in the USA. NANC and KRUZ might just be in the top ten LOL

No, that's not what it means. Maybe. But gross negligence alone is not enough to create liability. Any claim that the broker or data provider is liable is going to be a claim for breach of contract. And if you are not paying for the data, then there is no contract. You get what you pay for. If...

How would a higher number trigger your stop loss early? I don't think anyone is going to understand this unless you provide all the details of the trade. But setting aside the details, for the sake of discussion, I'll assume that the following facts are true: that somehow IB provided...

Well, I am bummed. I thought this issue of NatGeo was going to be about King Charles. Turns out it's about something else

Well, now, wait a minute, here... I don't think it's their fault. It's confusing. NS could also mean normal strike. It's pretty ridiculous that normal strike and nonstandard strike have the same abbreviation, don't ya think? You just have a very normalcentric way of thinking about this. Why...

I was thinking the same thing LOL LMFAO This is a really entertaining thread

Bummer. I wanted to get in on one of those :rolleyes:

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/11/beyonce-neil-young-song-fund-hipgnosis-sells-songs-debt The title of this article is incomprehensible. If it means anything at all, it suggests that Hipgnosis has some sort of direct relationship or connection with Beyonce and Neil Young. That's...

This page appears to indicate that Yahoo gets its currency rates from ICE Data Services. https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN2310.html I don't know what time zone they use LOL You might have dig through some pages over at ICE Data Services to find that. Probably New York or London.

I was not familiar with the Niederhoffer affair. Fascinating story you found at The Washington Post. I have just begun reading Taleb's Fooled by Randomness. I have only read the introduction. But Niederhoffer's comments already sound ridiculous: Sounding dazed and speaking in a barely audible...

In the position you have described, the call is not covered. The put is not covered. As others have noted, it is a synthetic long stock position. In theory, it will behave the same as if you were long the stock. And in practice, that usually happens. From a technical standpoint, it is not...

Yeah, right... Republicans and conservatives want to deregulate abortion and immigration? On what planet?

I would generally agree that holding a partnership interest in a retirement account can lead to a lot of headaches. And yes, you could owe UBTI. With a limited partnership, that's not possible. That's not accurate. See my previous post. That's advice from CPA who doesn't want the hassle of...

According to the GHI website: Greystone Housing Impact Investors LP (NYSE: GHI) formerly known as America First Multifamily Investors, L.P. was formed in 1998 under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act The abbreviation LP means limited partnership. The fact that you get a K-1...
