    Stock Tax May Reduce Volume 90%, Interactive Brokers CEO Says

    volume on low-priced options would go to nil. no one will sell an option for $25 when it costs $20 in tax and $1 in commissions, which means you won't be able to buy said option anymore. hence it won't be possible to hedge stock positions with OOTM options

    Lenders Pursue Mortgage Payoffs Long After Homeowners Default

    recourse state or not, if you did a cash-out refi or took out equity (the two are basically the same thing), then the cash portion is not protected from deficiency judgments. i'd bet that the money that guy owes was from a cash-out refi

    Which is stronger, fear or greed?

    fear is much stronger. how long did it take for the housing bubble to build up, and how long did it take for it to burst? it took 5 years for the s&p 500 to go from 900 to 1550, and 9 months to go from 1550 to 900.

    any of U cats trade OEX or SPX weekly options?

    crappy volume, not much open interest, and with oex, not many strikes. the best time for them was spring 2009. they were more liquid back then. i know few here trade them because IB had a problem with them a few weeks ago where they were untradeable for the entire day, and not a single...

    What kind of discounts are feasible in US real estate right now?

    i saw some foreclosures in the Inland empire (40 miles east of los angeles, out in some godforsaken dump). there were homes selling in the 300 range that were a couple of years old. the price was below replacement cost. you'd think it'd be a good deal to buy a home that costs $350k to build...

    What kind of discounts are feasible in US real estate right now?

    haha oh please. he's not doing it for the love of the game, he's doing it because he's an egomaniac who wants to prove to GB management that he isn't washed up. it is far more about an i-told-you-so vendetta than "love of the game". do you think it was a coincidence he went to a division...

    Online dating websites

    you're better off investing the $7000 in lottery tickets. your business plan is about as thorough and realistic as an 8 year old's plan for setting up a lemonade stand. no one is gonna pay $30/mo for a brand new site with no members. also, my opinion is that these online dating sites are...
