    Will 2008/2009 lows in real estate ever be broken?

    In the Seattle area even regular plain vanilla houses are being bid up 10's of thousands of dollars during the pandemic. Might have slowed a tiny bit here and there in the region, but not really. I know someone that just sold their 70's non-descript average middle class house 2 months ago due to...

    Elon Musk Internet with latency under 20

    Ah, just read the article. The OP confused PING with latency. PING is one way and in speed tests often just tests the connection time to one server directly (and so not really real world). Latency is round trip and in many online tests is real world passing through any number of servers on the...

    Elon Musk Internet with latency under 20

    Latency measures a round trip. Musk's internet may bypass some of the internet, but doubtful it will replace all pathways from one web server to another. Therefore, you will still be dependent upon terrestrial connectivity for parts of what you are trying to connect to. No doubt brokers will...

    Covid lockdown panic was caused by Fauci's "1% error"!

    As of the middle of August, an antibody study showed that about 6% of the population of Britain has had Covid-19. Similarly, the estimates of immunity in America are as much as 10% in certain parts of the country and lower in others. So, we are nowhere near herd immunity. This winter will be...

    Covid lockdown panic was caused by Fauci's "1% error"!

    The infection mortality rate for Covid-19 is currently estimated to be between 0.5% and 1% across the world (so down somewhat from a few months ago most likely due to improving treatments for serious disease). The case fatality rate is higher at 2-8%. For comparison the infection mortality rate...

    Market dumps despite Vaccine news

    There won't be an actual vaccine (with enough doses to actually produce herd immunity) before sometime early or mid next year. America is still under 10% infections total and much less in most places. The markets know this even if some delusionally believe otherwise.

    From "Flatten the Curve" to "Lockdowns Until Vaccine"

    Based on the science, it's Lockdowns because of no masks and no social distancing. Best example of freedumb I've encountered so far in 57 years of life.

    Johns Hopkins: COVID Mortality Analyses

    Actually, it is most likely much higher. A lot of countries are putting cause of death as anything but Covid-19 for political reasons. For instance, my wife's cousin is married to a woman from Kazakhstan. Her father just died of "Pneumonia." Apparently, Kazakhstan is currently having a huge...

    Widespread economic damage? Is that so, how can that be happening with a "V" shaped recovery

    The U-3 is currently 11.1% but 32.9 million received some sort of unemployment benefit last week. That's 24% of the workforce. If we are not in a recession than I'm not sure what a recession really is.

    A Quick and Steep Rebound - Obama Economic Adviser

    Jason Furman is obviously not an epidemiologist. Biology will trump economics until there is a vaccine or significant treatment. People need to participate in the recovery or there will be no economic recovery, and whatever the government in any particular part of America does or doesn't do, the...

    Anywhere we can go check the IV on that currently. I bet it is pretty high.

    Can you have capitalism(free mkt) and socialism(when the gov't saves most co's)

    As one of my old friends who is a smaller (publicly traded) clothing company CEO has said, free market ideology only serves the goal of increasing a particular corporation's profits. A CEO will try to maximize the benefits of both corporate socialism and free market principles for his own...

    The bottom was on March 21st...here are why.

    Current market increases are due to denial of the reality of our situation. The Italian deaths are mostly in the Lombardi region of Italy which is about 10 million people (the rest of Italy locked down so is not in the same situation). Lombardi is approximately the size of eastern Virginia or...

    Mac OS, TOS real-time data to Excel?

    Yes, I have Parallels. Just was hoping to keep it on the Mac side if possible (where I do everything else).

    Mac OS, TOS real-time data to Excel?

    Is there a way on Mac OS to get TOS real-time data into Excel? Specifically, I'd like to get option data into Excel. But I am curious more generally if anything is possible at this point in time. =RTD("tos.rtd", , "MARK", "AAPL") gives a "#N/A" result. Not sure if I need to specify a server...

    Free riding in an IRA account

    I've done this in a IB taxable cash account. The IB free-riding rule would appear to apply to all cash accounts whether IRA or not, but might be best to check with customer service: http://ibkb.interactivebrokers.com/node/814
