    Premiums eating away profits

    In fact that's exactly how supply and demand works. Statistically you should expect your options trades to average at just below break even when taking into account trading costs and bid/ask spreads. That's efficient markets for you.

    Can broker move stocks against daytraders?

    If you consider AAPL and VRX "lower volatility" stocks I'd be curious what you consider a higher volatility stock! You do know they both average over 30M shares traded per day. That's over $3 billion dollars a day for AAPL. You seriously think a MM is going to manipulate that kind of volume for...

    Which Offshore Jurisdiction?

    Which gives you an exemption for $100,800 (2015) and potentially some housing costs. Worldwide income above that is still taxed even if you never step foot in the U.S.

    KITCO Rhodium pricing

    I don't trade Rhodium but have experience brokering other illiquid commodities. The price quoted is an "indicative" price which usually means it's the price they got last time they talked to a buyer and a seller. If you haven't done a deal or had an ocassion to talk to some buyers and sellers...

    Tepper's Move To Fla Will Impact NJ Tax Revenue

    Their are a lot more high paying jobs at GS's NY office than their Miami office. It's an ecosystem thing as well, Miami just doesn't have it yet in a lot of areas. That said, I'm glad I don't have to live in NY/NJ!

    Which Offshore Jurisdiction?

    Just something to think about, if you're a U.S. citizen you have to go through the formal process of revoking your citizenship to avoid being a U.S. person for tax and surveillance purposes. I say that because you used the verbiage "change my residing country" which isn't enough to change...

    Should corporations pay tax?

    What does taxing a guy making minimum wage $10 a month accomplish except increasing the cost of the entire collection system and satisfying the maker/taker crowd. And while we're at it, a large portion of those 40% you cite are children and the elderly who get all their income from SS. Again...

    IB Options cancel fees

    Also I know SPX and ES spreads don't get the cancel fee, I think that may apply to all speads.

    Warren and Me

    Actually more people aren't of food stamps than ever (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/05/12/benefits-food-stamps-fewer/27175881/) and even if they were that's a pretty crappy reason to burn down our country. As to the rest, it's not really coherent to me, maybe I'm just too busy creating...

    Warren and Me

    True that on the war advocates. I would say that given a choice between owning Apple or the factory in China that makes iphones, I'll take Apple every time. Given the choice of an Apple research facility or a factory of any type in my town, I'll definitely choose Apple every time. It's a...

    Warren and Me

    As someone who's served it's truly disturbing to me to see people mindlessly advocating for the horrors of war to solve what, a debt problem? An underachieving economy? We have to show everybody who's boss to stay great? Stopping a "gravy train"? It's sad you've been so blinded by ideology that...

    Warren and Me

    We have one of the best economy in the world and overall Americans are better off economically than humans have ever been in the history of the race. You are advocating that we burn that all down, and people die during a war, for what? Ending a “gravy train”. Seriously? Clearly you’ve never...

    How often do you inform spouse of P&L?

    The natural tendency is to report every up day and few down days. Which leads the intelligent spouse to ask after a few months what we're going to do with the millions we've made. Like anything, if it's a big event that's going to impact us both or is impacting my mood I'll share it that day...

    are we going to run out of shares?

    First, let's look at some number. The market cap of the U.S. stock market is $22.5T There are a finite number of banks to lend money for LBOs, a finite amount of money each bank can/will lend to finance LBOs, and a finite amount of capital to be spent on the equity portion of LBOs. That finite...

    How will banks survive deep NIRP?

    You've linked to a couple articles from very biased sources. That's not "explained". Explaining would be quoting the relevant parts of Dodd-Frank that support your assertions. You've completely failed to do that. And done a great job of avoiding the question of if you have in fact ever read...

    How will banks survive deep NIRP?

    OK, again you're not referencing the bill but an article about the bill. Nothing in the article, or more importantly the bill, says that "depositor's money will be confiscated in case of bank insolvency, in order to recapitalize them". Full stop, it just plain doesn't say that even if an article...

    How will banks survive deep NIRP?

    Actually reading a bill before you pontificate on what it contains is power. I asked for the specific section of the bill that says "depositor's money will be confiscated in case of bank insolvency, in order to recapitalize them". You send me a link to a talking head from the LaRouchePAC who...
