    If Biden Shuts Down Economy: 4,000 Point Drop in Dow Jones

    Full service restaurants were deemed to have the highest transmission rates. "We found large variation in predicted reopening risks: on average across metro areas, full-service restaurants, gyms, hotels, cafes, religious organizations, and limited-service restaurants produced the largest...

    If Biden Shuts Down Economy: 4,000 Point Drop in Dow Jones

    Many areas with heavy mask and social distancing compliance are getting slammed - both in Europe and in the USA. While it's convenient and tempting to blame Trump for everything, I just saw a Stanford/Northwestern study that concluded through data mining contact tracing that 80% of COVID cases...

    If Biden Shuts Down Economy: 4,000 Point Drop in Dow Jones

    I have no argument with your health premise. None. The problem here in the United States is that State and Federal legislators make laws, not Presidents and Governors. We have a separation of powers structure in our democracy and that is established in our Constitution. If Joe Biden wants to...

    ES Plunge -4000 contract to wipe out all the stops

    My biggest trading day ever (with regulated futures) came on one of those in Eurex. I was trading Proprietary at the time and I was filled on a thousand lot. Big fat finger from a German bank desk. The Chicago Eurex office called me and wanted to know if I'd bust the trade:rolleyes: I asked...

    If Biden Shuts Down Economy: 4,000 Point Drop in Dow Jones

    Well, Justice Sam Alito is feeling his oats and he just invited some lawsuits into his playground :p I doubt that he would have done that if he didn't feel confident that they had a better than average chance to prevail.

    Do you think it's a bad idea to buy a house at this time?

    While 30% may be an outlier, it is no outlier that on a national level US home prices have not recovered their pre-crash valuations**. There are some very notable exceptions primarily in big cities and urban areas on the US West Coast. **(S&P Case-Shiller US National Home Price Index) And of...

    Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

    LOL, you make petty uninformed generalizations like a ten year old. Remote work, telecommuting, whatever you want to call it - has grown by 173% since 2005. I know professionals who have been doing it at Companies like Adobe and IBM since the late '90's. Grow up and wake up - it's the 21st...

    If Biden Shuts Down Economy: 4,000 Point Drop in Dow Jones

    Yes, but only up to a fine point apparently. State Supreme Courts have started clawing back at Governors with unbridled executive powers. But more telling, Supreme Justice Sam Alito has made some very public comments the past few days about how Governors and Health Experts have usurped the...

    Do you think it's a bad idea to buy a house at this time?

    I sold a house to a guy who later sold the house for something like 30% less than he paid for it. I sold the house to him before the 2008 crash, and he sold the house a couple years ago. My point being - RE is no longer subject to generalizations about value.

    FIFO rule kills futures traders profits!

    I have no background in using Motivewave, Tradovate and Tradingview. Can’t help you there. If someone held a gun to my head and forced me to manually scalp ES and NQ, I would lease the highest speed line I could get, I would clear an FCM directly (Advantage, Dorman, Rosenthal Collins, RJ...

    Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

    I got exhausted; the term "King of the money launderers" is all encompassing and for the Putins, the Trumps, the Kim Jong-uns, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.. Hell, DB was front running the Danske Bank operations.

    Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

    I think all of this is quite rich, considering the source: freaking Deutsche Bank. King of the money launderers, the LIBOR interest rate fixing scam, one of the ringleaders for packaging and selling toxic assets in 2008, Banker to terrorists and chronic violator of international terrorist...

    Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

    Britain makes me a little sad, because as an American I have a great affinity for her, as do many Americans. Germany went one way (the abolition of price controls and Wirtschaftswunder) and England went another way after World War Two, and I'm afraid that cast the die for the future. Keynes...

    Deutsche Bank proposes a 5% tax for people still working from home after the pandemic

    1. I think you are unfairly casting these "remote office" workers as high earners and that is far from the truth. Paralegals, IT Support, Sales, Customer Service, Government Civil Servants, all kinds and types are now working remotely. 2. Why is it always assumed that new taxes directly...
