Apple is not your friend. 1.Your response initially sounds good but you are not mentioning that Apple installed this "fix" on your phone without telling you. 2.Also their dogmatic insistence that you can not repair your Apple product is another indication that Apple is not your friend...

This is just wrong. It is like saying that you can not fix your car. Apple has long fought efforts that would make iPhones easier to repair: It has lobbied against right to repair efforts in several states, doesn’t sell iPhone replacement parts, sued an independent repair professional in...

Don't trade. You will be gliding along, think that, thinking, wow I must be almost a genius at least and then, you will get your ass handed to you. What to do? The truth each and every time is this. No matter what has happened in the past - small trade, small profit - many, many - times.

The only thing I groked from the last Apple upgrade is that it did facial recognition. Actually the worst thing possible. Before to find you they needed you to have your phone with you. Now they only need to be able to find you face. Rumor was that the next generation of Apple products was...

Yes you experienced "dumb luck". The current market is not the time to become enlightened on how the ES works. If you start now to make 15 trades a day you would probably blow out your account in less than a month. Better to just do red/black in Vegas. If you are really serious. Paper trade...

In Vietnam during the war there were many US military units that were 70-80% strung out. This was not lost on the Chinese. If you think the enterprise behind drugs in the US is Mexican well whatever. There are several groups/counties at large , working day and night, to bring the US down...

The US is in deep decline. Our reliance on Indians and Chinese is beyond belief. I have lived in Asia for many years. To think that have any allegiance to the United States, our core system of history and values, is foolish. I actually left academia because in each and every graduate...

Do you watch option prices? In many they slam the bid to the wall. Meaning - we do not want to trade here. Caveat - This is for individual stocks. Not sure if the same pattern is for indexes but would suspect they are but less extreme.

Something odd is going on here. There is a vested interest in keeping prices high. Most are compensated in part as a % of assets under management. We are getting close to the end of a quarter. Couple this with mark to market - where a little can make a big difference. Meaning there should...

Bid ask spread is a function of expected intraday volatility. When no one knows what is going on the bid ask spread gets larger. "I know, but the ask moves, just not the bid." When a market maker sells an option, money is made. When you buy an options you only make money when you sell...

I will never say anymore about this except - sitting on a lot of updated code is some very simplistic origins. Think - War Games. Not only the stock market but in many, many, different places.

"I find the Forex market to be extremely predictable." Do you know how many people on this forum find this to be true? 0 Pick any recent or even better future occurrence where you could predict what was going to happen and why. Anyone able to do this would be King at least for A Day. ALL IN

All I am saying is that GS adopted a trading platform that can be scammed.

Volume is picking up a little bit on the downside but no where near panic. What has to happened is some or one very large highly leveraged trade has to belly up. It was like in the market collapse of 2008 when positions were leveraged 50 to 1. When positions like this start to go down there...

"Having trouble predicting and timing the direction of volatility and the shape and slope of the skew intraday as well as long term." This is a problem for most but not all. There is a paper - "The Volatility and Efficiency Effects of the Emergence of Futures and Options Markets on Equity...

1. Determine a market you would like to trade. What is it about this market that you like? 2. Identify as many players in your chosen market as possible. It it helpful to be able to measure the influence or each group of market participants on the market. If you are doing this what measure...

Not sure what most of the above means. Sounds like you were saying the market was slow or maybe fast. Regardless there was money to be made on the swing. However, I agree, it was tedious to participate. The bigger reality is that there is selling into any rally. Perhaps end of the year tax...

Not a big fan of Jim Cramer but this article is at the heart of what is going on in the market - Jim Cramer: The Common Stock Buyer Seems to Have Disappeared We have, for lack of a better term, what acts to be a 'broken' market - both ways - because the volume is so thin...

I found this article interesting - https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/30/health/gene-edited-babies-he-jiankui-intl/index.html The actual process, HIV resistance, is minor. The meta is that germ line research is being done. This is one of many, many, experiments being done in secret around the world...

Options do not trade pre-market.
