    Dividend Stocks Questions

    I stay away from dividend stocks for 2 reasons: -Dividends get taxed the year you get them whereas capital appreciation won't get taxed until you sell (many years down the road possibly) or never (if you die holding the stock and your heirs get it with stepped-up basis) -I invest my money in a...

    Vol weighted stop loss orders

    I size my positions according to the underlying volatility, so positions on Oil for example (CL futures contract) are roughly 4 times smaller than positions on $ exchange rate (DX futures contract) because the respective vols are on a ratio of roughly 1 to 4. So far I have stop loss orders...

    Help me understand margin

    1) Initial margin is normally higher than maintenance margin: typically 50% ("Reg T margin") for initial and 30% for maintenance. But brokers are free to have stricter requirements for maintenance margin when they deem the securities too risky or illiquid or for whatever reason. In your case...

    The regulators could have shut down the 1000's of scams years ago . Now they pretend to care

    “Consumers and investors were misled with promises that their crypto would earn double digit interest rates in perpetuity,” Anyone who believes that crap DESERVES to lose their money and learn. Stupid response is "regulators need increased resources to successfully patrol the market".

    IRS Requirement to Report Stolen Property

    It's not about making criminals abide by the law, they're too stupid to do so. It's about adding an extra count to the indictment. Remember Al Capone spent his final vacation days in sunny Alcatraz on tax evasion, as he couldn't be caught on anything else.

    Can Traders Short BTCUSDT?

    If you have the balls to go short that crap (that's a big if), short the CME futures (BTC).
