All MasterCard and VISA cards are issued by a financial institution--whether they are credit cards or debit cards. The financial institution may be a bank or it may be something else, such as a credit union, or a "nonbank" financial institution. Bank is a technical term in federal and state law...

There is an ETF for those who want to own the S&P 100. The symbol is OEF. It's been around for many years, and it has some volume and liquidity. But there is no liquidity in the options associated with it. BMK

Were you holding a bunch of stock on the last day of the year?

You should probably look into Tradelog software. It will download your raw transaction data from your account, and let you properly format it and perform the calculations you are looking for. It's not free, but it's not outrageously expensive, either. And you have to learn how to use it. Garbage...

The original meaning of short against the box was when someone executes an order to sell short a stock that he actually owns, but is not holding in the same account where the short sale occurs. The box referred to the idea that you could keep the stock certificate in a safe deposit box while...

Suppose a thief steals your car stereo and sells it. You then break into his house and take the money he got from selling your stereo. Is that still stealing?

I'm a big fan of new technology. Like Juicero, for example. It is an awesome example of how new things are always better than old things, and how things that have been around for several million years--fruit and juice--can be improved by technology...

I had never heard of Nexgen, and I don't trade futures anyway, and this thread kind of died out in 2012 and then got resurrected, so... Out of curiosity I googled it, and somehow they are still in business: https://nexgent3.com/ And the "contact us" page has an address in Sarasota, Florida...

Just curious exactly what you mean... You have $20K allocated among those six investment types? Or you have $20K in each of those investment types, and you are going to rebalance?

Okay, so, for example... If I have the equivalent of US $24,000 on deposit at a Danish bank... I have to pay 0.6% per annum on US $8,000. That's $48 per year, or four dollars each month.

For options trading, @destriero is the real deal. Here's an interesting thread that has some recent activity: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/vol-trading-for-beginners.356063/ But as someone else mentioned, some of the most valuable and informative stuff in this forum can be found in...

I am surprised Wiley would publish that kind of garbage

I understand why you are calling them "zombie" options. But the technical term is nonstandard options. Which broker are you using? I think you are mistaken when you say that you cannot open new positions. As an experiment, I attempted to place an opening order for a nonstandard TLRY option in...

Which historical event are you questioning? The fact that Joe Biden won the election in November, 2020? Or the fact that six million Jews were killed by the Nazis? Or something else?

It appears to be a nonzero number... https://www.ft.com/content/03f3eb4f-d794-4717-b421-a8f97c04c276 https://www.abajournal.com/news/article/exasperated-judges-question-trump-lawyers-on-election-claims-leading-to-one-nonzero-admission

And how is that going for you? You making money trading binary options?

That video is entertaining. But it is several years old. Taken out of context, the introduction is misleading. It identifies him as an "18-year old hedge fund manager." He's not 18 years old, and he's not a hedge fund manager anymore. According to Wikipedia, he was born in 1997, which makes him...
