    An ETF That Tracks Congress’ Stock Picks Is Beating the Market. It Shows the Wisdom of Crowds.

    It's not the wisdom of crowds, it's the benefit of inside information. You didn't think Pelosi and Schumer became exorbitantly rich on 150K a year did you?

    Unsellable NFTs - Tax Loss Harvesting

    This thread is even more hilarious when you think back to some of the NFT threads just a few years ago - where so many folks here were calling others idiots for not going all in on these things.

    Walmart, Costco and other companies rethink self-checkout

    Not only is that not done today, but many retailers look the other way when witnessing actual shoplifting. In CA many police departments tell retailers to file an online report for anything under $950. They won't even come out and rarely is anyone ever charged. Many others won't allow...

    How Wall Street Makes Millions Selling Car Loans Customers Can’t Repay

    So they're supposed to deny loans to people with bad credit? These folks are disproportionately black. I've read a number of times over the years that the gov't would severely punish companies that engaged in such "racist" behavior. Sounds like they have no choice but to print the money!!

    Opinion Review & Outlook Ken Griffin vs. the IRS

    There's a fairly simple solution to this.

    def works for IB and could potentially offer some help if he sees this. Many of us long time IB customers feel that IB's technology is really good 99% of the time, but sometimes when it goes bad it will put you in a tiny little box that you feel you will never escape from.

    Have EVs been overhyped as taking over Gas vehicles? Is realization setting in?

    I had a Honda Civic hybrid years ago and the massive electric battery failed less than half way through the warranty period. Honda refused to honor the warranty or replace the battery for me and thousands of others. Everyone I've talked to that has taken a trip in an EV has promised it will be...

    Just a little advice (worthwhile?) from an old timer about trying something new.

    It's funny you've found your success in equities and futures remain elusive. For me it's been the opposite for the last few decades. I feel like the behavior and patterns are pretty different because an equity is one thing and the index is 500 things. You've found your comfort zone and I...

    Trillion-Dollar Industry Powering Chicago at Risk of Leaving

    The future of Chicago looks like Detroit today. That $600M hole is going to look like a rounding error very quickly if Mayor Bunny decides to soak the rich with even more taxes as they are getting carjacked regularly. The city voted for it.

    Prediction: Home Prices in Most Parts of The U.S Will Drop Nicely Very Soon.

    I don't think home prices will deteriorate significantly over the next 18 months. They may flatten in some places or see very modest declines in others... but nothing material. In addition to supply being terribly constrained by points folks made above, there are a few other things I see. 1)...
