you're asking for conflicting goals. you want the best rate but want the safest place too. you need to pick one, you can't have them both. if you want safety, then put it into a major money market fund that invests solely in treasuries. if you want best returns, put it in a shitty...

the question is, what percentage of recruiters are they letting go? if they only had 120 of them before, then this is a hugely bearish sign for the company. the number of recruiters they have is proportionate to the number of people they intend to interview and hire.

so basically they're saying that more attractive women are more likely to cheat. wow, another "NO DUHHH!" study. anyone who has more options is more likely to cheat or be inclined to look "for something better". btw, what's the male equivalent of this hormone because i think i have gobs of...

nope you're mistaken. if you sell a put and do not short the underlying, it is considered a naked position. the amount of cash you have is irrelevant. the OP sold puts naked. they happen to be cash secured.

at least this knucklehead figured out that one option equals 100 shares. lol his INTC thread was an instant classic. :D

i don't think by itself federal spending during the 1960s was the primary cause, because the annual deficits as a percentage of GDP were very low in the 1960s. fairly restrained spending like that must have been combined with other factors like dwindling productivity for there to have been that...

different FO's have different multipliers. it can get confusing. es = 50, ndx = 100, spx = 250, nq = 20, er2 = 100 (er2 changed to tf)

i feel sorry for the hybrid owners who paid a premium to buy their car over the past summer when gas was $4. at the time, suvs were selling 15%+ under msrp and cars like the prius were selling at or above msrp. fast forward to today's world of $1.80 gas. hybrid sales are down 50%, the...

as far as tender red meats go, filet mignon is the most lean as long as you trim the fat away. 6oz has 350 cal, 15g fat, 6g saturated, substantially better than ny steak or porterhouse. i love it! i usually buy a few pounds from the butcher, and this lasts several days. of course it means...

i was left with the same impressions after the tos call. i have been involved in companies that swallowed up smaller companies and despite the promises of autonomy, those promises eventually fade and the smaller company starts acting like its parent. in the call, tom/scott said that this...

please cite some well-controlled scientific studies to back this up

companies operate on fiscal year not calendar year, so i don't see why december is anything special unless your fiscal year happens to be jan-dec or unless you're in a particular business that goes through seasonal cycles like retail.

2 would be nice but isn't gonna happen with a complex consumer application that sells for $125. and this comment isn't in reference to microsoft. the only apps that are designed to be flawless are critical apps where one flaw could result in death or catastrophe, such as a missile's...

it's very clear from this thread that if ameritrade doesn't maintain all of tos' tangibles and intangibles, they will lose 95% of their customers. in which case you have to ask, what did they just pay $600m for? some software apps, some employees, a website, and investools? there's no way...

so what does your friend's family member do at the frb? janitorial?

so what's their new name gonna be, tdameritradeswim? fvck this is bad news. i read their merger faq and there's nothing positive there. while there's a good chance they'd keep the tos software, there's a very high chance that commissions will go up and customer service will go down...

and despite the dismal fiscal picture, retarded voters passed an initiative to spend tens of billions on a rail system linking northern and southern california. and you wonder how the state got into this mess!

different brokers compute portfolio margin differently, but regardless, i've always seen ndx to require more margin than spx at least for the types of positions i open; and that's even after you factor in the fact ndx options have a larger aggregate size. spx is tested at (-8%, +6%) but ndx...

if you have portfolio margin, spx has the advantage of lower margin requirements than ndx.
