    Facebook and Google were victims of $100M payment scam

    That is wild. You would think somewhere between $0 and $100m he would have figured out a good plan to disappear and enjoy that money. If he was sharp enough to pull that off he had to be sharp enough to know they wouldn't pay a fake vendor forever.

    IB - How to get between bid/ask spread on Futures?

    That is spreads trading that you are seeing probably. They can trade in penny increments but outrights are by the nickel

    How (And Why) To Buy A Piece Of The Atlanta Braves

    That's interesting, thanks for sharing. I had no idea their ownership was setup like that.

    The ACD Method

    Whew FCX is feeling that pain. Not me, even though my handle comes from that lol, but I do not have a position currently thankfully.

    What are the current limits of artificial intelligence? & their weaknesses

    I believe Tesla advertises on their site that if you get the fully loaded version that it's self driving capability is something like twice that of the average driver.

    Dropbox is going public!

    Convenience. I've been on a long flight and forgotten to bring a book or anything, luckily I had several PDF's on my dropbox, just downloaded them before the flight and can read through. That's the main thing for me. I don't have anything super important backed up, it is just a convenient way...

    Dropbox is going public!

    I maxed out my free storage with them, but when most of that expired I moved. $10/month isn't a lot, but I only needed a fraction of the amount of storage that gets you. I'd rather pay $2 or whatever google charges for an amount closer to what I need

    Distressed Debt Investing

    There was a decent amount of "customer buys" on Gymboree yesterday. About $1m reported after 5pm all at the same price broken up over several transactions. Plenty of sells other days too so can't use that to discern much I'd say. The price has still been dropping though so not sure. I haven't...

    Distressed Debt Investing

    So just pulled up Gymboree today and it has dropped to around 9 cents on the dollar. That made things a bit more interesting. Their annual report actually came out and their conference call the day I posted the above and I had no idea. Anyways, they aren't in good shape financially. Seems to...

    The ACD Method

    Who even was Jack Hershey or what the heck was he trying to do? I just remember the word fractals being mentioned. I feel like every post of his I read was incoherent babbling. This scene came to mind lol

    RM's occasional market calls...

    Have you read @Rearden Metal posts? He has had some solid calls for quite some time. Not your typical person posting the market has topped or whatever. Can't get them all right though.

    Where to trade with pik bonds?

    I believe it is just added to the principal on the bond essentially. So a 10% PIK bond/Loan on a million they would owe you $1.1m after year one then $1.21m year 2. It compounds against them essentially, but they don't have to pay you anything until maturity. Not 100% on that, but from what...

    Where to trade with pik bonds?

    Do you have an interactive brokers account? If you can't find the bond, you might be able to call them and see if they can get access to it. I know they have a note on their site saying for clients with specific needs to call their bond desk as they can source specific issues.

    3 minute push up challenge

    That's solid. I still have yet to do it. Just left the recruiters though and we did another 1 minute test. I got 55 so exact same as last time but about 5 he didn't count because I didn't lock out my elbows fully :banghead: so potentially could have improved my number a bit without that screw...

    Distressed Debt Investing

    So I've been doing all my bond searches through my Etrade account since I first went down this rabbit hole...just logged into IB from my computer (first time in awhile) and realized they had a pretty solid bond searching tool in comparison that shows a multiple of the amount of results I get...

    Auditor Charged With Insider Trading on Client’s Nonpublic Information

    So did his employer find out and turn it over to the SEC or did they catch him? Surprising that was enough size to alert them of anything if so, but I guess they review everything heavily around mergers.

    dumb cell phone

    C and D will probably keep you from having too dumbed down of one. I was going to say flip phone, but that won't be much of an email experience.
