    The NFT sector will come back

    The same points I brought up are valid pretty much anywhere that matters. Whether you are in Brussels or Tokyo you're much better off having a real contact. Assuming your purpose is to make a legitimate claim in an asset with actual value. Now if you're just interested in pump and dump or...

    The NFT sector will come back

    No they're governed by the normal legal system. Who do you think you're going to call, the nft police? If you want to buy the rights to something do it in a way that leaves you with an actually enforceable contract. Show up to court with a signed, notarized document, not a sob story "I...

    The NFT sector will come back

    The Guggenheim also accepted the donation of the Podesta pee camera. https://www.washingtonian.com/2021/07/12/tony-podesta-had-a-toilet-camera-yes-tony-podesta-had-a-toilet-camera/ I think a lot of the modern art world is a scam. Either donating "art" for a tax deduction or selling "art" to...

    The NFT sector will come back

    This exactly. They are not going to be "coming back". They are a money pit for suckers and an opportunity for money laundering.

    Buying fixed income when you have a mortgage at a higher rate?

    Wtf are you talking about? Nobody's talking about not paying their monthly payment. The whole question is: Assuming you had enough cash to pay off you mortgage outright, are the possible advantages to buying fixed income securities? If you bought something marketable like a UST and rates drop...

    Jury Convicts Hedge-Fund Manager Accused of Rigging Foreign-Exchange Market

    Seems like a garbage article. It leaves out important information. What specifically about his trading did they allege was manipulative? I'm glad I don't pay for this lazy crap journalism. The article just mentions that we had options at the same time as he traded the underlying. That alone...

    Buying fixed income when you have a mortgage at a higher rate?

    This plus the preferential tax treatment on treasuries. Or the possibility of doing it in an IRA. Then there's also the possibility to sell the securities if interest rates drop. If you had an ARM and a long duration security that could lead to a cool situation. Even if both rates were fixed...

    Price Police

    Ibkr warns me about rejecting orders based on price ever damn time I enter an order but they haven't done it yet. Just another stupid box to click.

    GAIN Capital takes Forex trader to Court for taking advantage of order execution error

    We don't have to read their t&c to have a basic idea of what is reasonable. And the existence of any t&c does not automatically override the need for contracts to be generally reasonable to both parties. T&c are generally weak as far as contracts go away. There's no signed and dated paper...

    GAIN Capital takes Forex trader to Court for taking advantage of order execution error

    Even then, probably not as that terminology is ridiculously vague. What would stop the firm from claiming every trade they lost money on was an error? Furthermore, is it reasonable to expect a customer to be able to tell the difference between an error and a bad trade on their broker's part...

    GAIN Capital takes Forex trader to Court for taking advantage of order execution error

    What part of "the contract" are you even looking at here? The trader executed trades at the prices that were offered. He didn't hack into a server and cause it to misbehave. He didn't rig their data. He didn't insert SQL queries into his price orders to manipulate a back end server. They...

    Robinhood ZERO comissions Options while Big Brockers NOT..

    Payment for order flow. Your "free" order is routed to a company that somehow hasn't had a losing quarter in a long time. It's almost as if they're rigging the trades in their favor....

    SBF jailed

    I'm talking to the jackass who thinks it's fine to get personally insulting in THIS thread. You can take your opinions about what I should and should not say and cram them. It's perfectly on topic for me to point out that on other hand, you seem fine with pawning off a multi billion dollar...

    SBF jailed

    Looks like someone doesn't like hearing how blatantly corrupt their heros are. The wattaboutism is real with this one. I wonder how people get this sickness. Weren't you just defending going after everyone even tangentially involved with a trucker protest? Without even giving them so much...

    Time to lock in 4.7% returns on your savings for 10 years?

    Seizing people's bank accounts without even giving them so much as a hearing to defend themselves is just wrong. It funny to watch the fascists here go from, "That didn't happen" to "Yeah but I hate them and want them stomped on." Or "freedom isn't absolute" as if that is some sort of excuse...

    SBF jailed

    Ugh, it's so tiring to watch all these people pretend that SBF acted alone. Dozens of people had the know about this and should be sitting in prison. It seems like prosecutors are lazy and unwilling to reconstruct the records themselves so they're handing to sweetheart deals that should not be...

    Modeling Price Swings with Mathematical Functions for Short-Term Trades

    Serious question... why would you think any given function should have any reasonable predictive capability? If I'm trying to model something in the engineering world I learn about how that thing works and select functions that are know to be representative of that behavior. For example...

    FDHBFIN where is it?

    Found some more data here too https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/RS22331.pdf I wonder why Fred hasn't updated at all this year and it looks like it's supposed to update quarterly.
