As you pointed out, the same logic applies on the buyer side. So if short selling doesn't push markets down, and by the same logic buying doesn't push market up, then we're left with what, the head and shoulders serving a cup of tea chartists? Of course short selling, same as any other selling...

Like the internet in .com days it's possible for there to be real value there on an ongoing basis. It's just not going to grow as fast as the fanboys think it will and it won't necessarily accrue to the products they're betting on. At this point it's clearly a "greater fool" market, almost...

Simple questions. One would think it would be easier to simply answer rather than going on about how much beneath you the rest of the world is. Apparently not.

Since I quoted several sections of the prospectus I've obviously read it. You, not so much. Again, have any specifics to talk about or just a vague superiority complex to share? If you're working in a treasury management system it's baffling why you would believe wires don't settle for some...

Well here's a dead simple question for ya. Have you worked with a treasury management system at a bank or not, yes or no. I know your time is oh so precious.... or actually your banking experience is limited to your personal banking account, you have no experience in actual wire clearing times...

So that's a no to being a real MM or ever using a treasury management solution, thanks for clarifying. And apparently no to understanding what you're trying to achieve here as well. Never been called a "fish" though, is that some kind of British or German insult that doesn't translate well to...

I'm not sure what you think I'm denying? Let's talk about the specific example you raise, since you bring it up, arbing the NAV of VacEck ETNs against the underlying crypto. I'll assume you're a real MM so you're an Authorized Participant in the context of the ETN meaning you can redeem (if...

You're right, your assumption won't be suddenly correct if you just repeat it a couple of times. And also correct that you won't be able to convince someone who watches wire transfers occur more or less instantaneously on a regular basis that such a thing is impossible. Not sure what you could...

I run a non trading business that involves making a very large number of wire transfers every month. They happen more or less instantaneously from the sending bank account to the receiving bank account at a different bank and it's settled funds which I in some cases then split up and transfer to...

For what I trade they're very comparable. However I'm not making several thousand trades a day where a couple cents per round turn makes a difference, so YMMV depending on how you trade.

I don't do microsecond wires but I certainly routinely do wires that clear in the time it takes me to refresh the account on the receiving end. That said, in order to avoid a tangential food fight over wire times which isn't really relevant to the underlying question....the actual point is that...

1. It happened well before. It's most likely on a spread that's way ITM or OTM where the MMs stop quoting realistic spreads, but the driving factor is really that The Algorithm bases the value on the bid/ask rather than the actual max value of the spread so any time they go out of whack it could...

Absolutely. I left IB in large part because "The Algorithm" decided that a 5 point SPX spread could lose more than 5 points and would randomly autoliquidate parts of the spread in response based on bid/ask rather than the actual maximum possible loss (European options so no early exercise risk...

For sure multi-day waits for instantaneous wire transfers are a huge problem in the retail world. But the MMs and hedge funds who are the one's generally ensuring a no-arb condition because they will jump on any arb opportunity in literally a microsecond don't suffer from those limitations. And...

At this point it's clear you're at a point in your life where you're fundamentally incapable of introspection and the concept of examining why you're doing what your doing. I'm trying to help you develop that skill, as I would have appreciated someone doing for me at your age, but there's only...

Again, what are you accomplishing here? Seriously? Literally everything you predicted was dead wrong, and yet it's still all about moving goalposts, childish name calling, sour grapes, and the bizarre inability to get your head around the simple concept that when a predicted 50% drop actually...

Hard to admit something you never said, try rereading from the top? Again it's hard to figure out what you gain from your approach here? Maybe if you start with the whole "safe space" meme it will....accomplish what exactly? Maybe if you move the goalposts from your predicted 50% drop in DAU...

I guess your mind is a lot more linear than mine. I see the Twitter numbers pop up, see that they were up in every possible measure, remember a bunch of jackasses who were predicting a 50% drop, do a search for 50% drop and Twitter here on ET, and continue our conversation. Interestingly if you...

Most would argue that democracy and rule of law are as fundamental to the United States as freedom of speech and expression, wouldn't you agree? Except of course that the constitution only guarantees freedom from government interference in speech and expression, there is not requirement that...

Sorry, I thought this was a stock traders forum where Twitter earning would be something that those who had expressed an interest in Twitter earnings previously would talk about when they were released. If it makes you feel better to believe we all think of no-one but you....well there's a name...
