    $6.99 for a jar of Helmans Mayonaise

    And don't forget about birds of prey... It sounds like something out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon, but apparently it actually happens that birds like eagles and hawks can swoop down and grab a small dog. Probably wouldn't try to take a standard poodle, though LOL

    Do sharks eat canned poodle? And if so, do they prefer it packed in water or olive oil?

    $6.99 for a jar of Helmans Mayonaise

    Ummm, yeah, but the article you are linking to from El País is from July 2019. That was before everything changed because of COVID. HSBC puts out an "Expat Explorer" report every year. The 2021 ranking table is here: https://www.expat.hsbc.com/expat-explorer/league-table/ Spain ranks number 3...

    No... this is a discussion about canned fish and poodles. What I want to know is: Do poodles like canned tuna mixed with mayo?

    I eat sardines, too. But like tuna, there are many, many varieties, and the labels don't always tell you what you're getting. My comments here apply primarily to labeling in the USA. There are many different species of fish that fall into the category of sardines, and they are not required to...

    I think the standard size of a can of tuna has always been 5 oz., at least in the USA, for the major brands. When I buy light tuna in water, I usually buy the foil pack, which is 3 oz., already drained. When you start looking at higher-end gourmet products, all bets are off. The link that I...

    $6.99 for a jar of Helmans Mayonaise

    When I am in the mood for something quick and light, I do eat ordinary chunk light tuna packed in water, and I usually buy Chicken of the Sea. But I have begun to experiment with other products, some of which are far more expensive, e.g., as much as $10.99 for a 5 oz. can of high-grade smoked...

    $6.99 for a jar of Helmans Mayonaise

    There is an entire world of canned fish that many Americans and British have never even heard of. I'm talking about ultra-high quality artisanal products that are very expensive. Many Americans of a certain age can think of only three things when they hear "canned fish": sardines, tuna and...

    Bond Execution failure?

    We buy corporate bonds in a retail account at Schwab. We've never had any problems. But that part of our account is long term investment. We are not trying to trade bonds. As the previous post noted, most corporate bonds are traded OTC. The bond market is antiquated. It's amazing you can even...

    The US will weaponize the dollar by backing it with Bitcoin

    That sounds a lot like something a politician would say when a reporter tries to point out that he is failing to distinguish between fact and opinion.

    I think Manhunter is one the best films of the twentieth century. But many people have never heard of it, and they don't understand how it is related to Silence of the Lambs.

    Anyone trade Event Contracts with IB?

    Here's an alert the SEC issued almost ten years ago about binary options. The biggest red flag is when they are off-market, i.e., many binary option platforms are operating illegally because they are not on a regulated exchange. But the contracts offered by IB are legit CME products.

    Anyone trade Event Contracts with IB?

    I had never heard of these things, although I am familiar with the concept... I don't have an account at IB. Are these products even available in the USA? They sound an awful lot like binary options LOL

    What does Margin Impact mean?

    I don't use IB, so I can't be 100% certain, because that is not a term that has a formal definition in the applicable regs. So different brokers could potentially use the phrase "margin impact" with different meanings. But the spread you described has a max loss of $500 minus whatever credit you...

    TWTR Options

    The complete history is a little more complicated. Prior to July, I had never traded Twitter, and I was never a big fan of the company. In late July, the deal was in limbo. Musk was trying to back out, but Twitter had filed suit to force him to complete the deal, and more than one neutral legal...
