    Genocide - for fun

    Is Genocide Right For You? By AARON BADY Many people have a misconception about genocide, which is not banned by international law, but is strictly regulated so that it can be conducted safely and sustainably.

    Mathematical expectation

    my 2 cents FWIW...... ... Van tharp and others have popularized something that confuses and gives people the wrong ideas and false hope. Quant analysts fall into 2 types - those that unerstand that what they work on is a model, and those that think their model is the market. technical analysis...

    Career trader's perspective on living off trading profits vs living on salary?

    I always took the more conservative route and put aside living expenses each year and often think that from a purely economic point of view it simply not worth most people trading full time - invest while working yes. there are 2 other issues that many forget to take into consideration. -...

    Never in a million years could have seen this coming.

    Far better to support a government that supports increased corporate power, less democracy and competition and the excesses they will try and get away with if possible? Stockholm syndrome applies both ways and I would wager corporations sell to you more than the government. I just read the...

    Never in a million years could have seen this coming.

    I cant tell if you are agreeing with me or if you are actually reinforcing my point exactly. Have you completely misunderstood and lumped everything together in an us v them. Very few people here left or right think people who work hard and earn their money ever deserve to transfer all their...

    Never in a million years could have seen this coming.

    side thought on a Saturday..... the welfare people who abuse the system and the CEOs who abuse the system, the union workers who sleep and get away with it, the entrepreneur who structures themselves to avoid tax are one and the same type of people. They are all gaming the system as it is...

    Pnl and stk price

    The total cost of any assigned option is the strike price less any money received for selling the option. In this case you seem to be confusing/cross-reference stock price and strike in your explanation.....(???) the total cost for the stock is $23 --- the strike the PL to date is lost...

    Random

    It will just add more cost but should not too much extra. It will most likely defer away some who just cant be bothered setting up and will reinforce my beleive that the most heavily subsidised industry in the world is lawyers and accountants who are also to blame for the worlds problems ::) --...

    THE Super Ultra Wealthy Man can see the future, he sees horror ahead

    For a little bit more lateral thinking about spending efficiently and not trying to solve all the worlds tax problems with huge broad ideas, and given many western nations spend 30-60% of their budgets on welfare and health. I thought this might interest some...

    Think about it this way --- Options are about risk transferal. if you hedge something often you are often simply transfering risk elsewhere or substituting one set of risks for another. In your example - you hedge an options delta and your question is - has the future become more...
