    Ageing, Immigration, Rodrigo Duterte and Donald Trump.

    The volatile, brainless and obnoxious president of the Philippines made an ass out of himself by calling Obama a 'son of a bitch' on the eve of a meeting with Obama. This of course was very unwise. The Philippines needs US help in many areas. Duterte's personal feelings for Obama are irrelevant...

    Is God mute?

    When man became self-aware he also became aware of his own mortality. In order to salve his fear of death and his sorrow for the death of those he loved he created GOD. God is man's mythical 'savior' from his inevitable death. He dreams of an 'afterlife' in which he has a continued existence...

    Yes. The people who create the real market are human beings and there is no absolute connection between information and security price. People can be wrong and if you believe that your information and judgment is superior to that of the people who are creating the market it behooves you to put...

    "straddles don't work".....work for what?

    What expiration? If making money in the options market were as easy as buying straddles prior to earnings everybody would be rich. The people who sold you the straddle knew as much as you did (or probably a lot more) about upcoming events. The easy explanation is that option pricing (implied...

    The amazing thing to me is to see Boris Johnson sitting there next to Theresa May. Well...if Johnson is going to be foreign secretary (and he is), and Merkel is not running for reelection(and she's not), I guess we might as well have trump as president. Then we can make Donald Duck secretary of...
