    Nasdaq seeks mandatory rule on board diversity for companies

    I realize that you are joking but one of the most underrepresented groups on boards are short men. I once read an article a few years ago that, at the time, Ken Chenult (sp?), the CEO of American Express, was not only the only black CEO of a S&P 100 firm, but also the only male under 6 feet tall.

    Which is better for workstation i9 OR Xeon ?

    Since you specified 8GB total disk space, that led me believe that you are doing a lot of disk work. Also, for 256GB NVME is way too small for this system. Remember that Windows will also use this drive for swapping memory, which will certainly happen if you buy only 16GB or RAM.

    Which is better for workstation i9 OR Xeon ?

    REITs - Uncorrelated?

    Most of the REITs tanked in March because of fear that tenants would be unable, or unwilling, to pay rent during the pandemic. If you really want to invest in REITs, stick with the data center REITs such as CyrusOne, since they are booming.

    Trading IBD 50 - How to start a campaign

    I am not a fan of IBD 50. I was just trying to show the OP has simpler way of using their strategy. If you look at the IBD 50 ETF, FFTY, holdings, it has 42% in tech, the S&P has 28% tech. So should have vastly outperform SPY, but it has not...

    Uncompromising Men

    What is trader status?

    No you don't have to incorporate, but there are other requirements such as minimum number of trades per year. I strongly suggest that you read some of the documents on the GreenTraderTax.com website. They also have a yearly tax guide that they sell. About $75 if I remember. Highly recommended.

    Web Based Servers

    At 50 to 100 transactions per minute, I doubt that any VPS can keeps up. You will probably need a dedicated server, a vendor such as AWS that can dynamically scale the hardware as needed. Remember also that you may need to factor in the software that is generating these transactions.

    How much will the stock market fall if Biden wins?

    My guess is that if the Democrats sweep, the stock market will initially rise, if not, the markets will initially fall. Right now, both the market and the economy is being propped up by the Fed pumping money into the economy. The Democrats have already signaled that they are ready to pass...
