Okay, this is why we need to bring back paper stock certificates Then we can have a peer-to-peer trading network, with no need for brokers Never should have gone off the gold standard and never should have eliminated paper stock certificates Ted Kaczynski was right Technology is destroying...

Your idea sounds a lot like crypto... Started out as a system where one could transfer digital assets without an exchange or broker. Don't need to trust anyone. Don't need any kind of SEC or CFTC regulation, or SIPC protection, 'cause everything is verified on the blockchain. How's that...

That is a very interesting post on Reddit Stock hit 40 this morning

I have special powers that can make the market behave in certain ways just by staring at the screen. I just haven't learned how to use these powers effectively. I don't have sufficent control over them. Have you ever watched a TV series called The Gifted?

That may well be the case for futures. But with stock and options, many brokers will still give you time to respond to a margin call by adding funds, or by selling something else in your account, or by closing the position yourself. We are in the US, and our broker is Schwab. We had a margin...

Trust and verification are two very different things. Getting them mixed up often leads to trouble. You can trust without verification. In some contexts, this may be a very bad idea. In other contexts, it may be a rational thing to do. And you can verify without trust. This is something that...

There are plenty of leveraged inverse ETFs that short the major indexes. But those are generally short-term plays. Are you looking for something longer term, i.e., a buy-and-hold ETF that is functionally equivalent to shorting... what? A particular index?

Q. Why is the volume low? A. 'Cause no one is buying or selling it. Q. Why is no one buying or selling it? A. 'Cause the volume is low. :rolleyes:

I'm not sure that's all that unusual with this kind of esoteric instrument. Preferred stock with a mandatory redemption, sometimes called term preferred stock, is rare. People just don't know about it, or they don't understand it. Or maybe the fact that it has a "mandatory" redemption date, but...

This is a very interesting instrument. Dividend of $1.25 per year = 5.00% coupon. Dividends are paid monthly. There is a mandatory redemption date of 01/31/2026. Currently trading at about $24.20, which gives it a yield to call that is north of 7%. But there is a clause that says that if...
