    This is one helluva loaded statement! What if I like my life... do I get the credit?

    How to retrieve orders status with ibkr api?

    The same way you call any other object methods. Why should it be different? You may want to consider reading a quick refresher on Python object orientation before diving into the IB API.

    skew locks

    That must be defined in the glossary of Hull because Natenberg's book is more of an introductory text. I'll double check.

    Are there advantages to selling calls at several strike prices?

    Not sure what level or kind of maths you teach but, good luck anyway!

    Should central banks be abolished?

    Lol, apparently it's your world and we're just living in it. You're putting words in my mouth in order to, yet again, build straw men. See this: Now, there's no point continuing this conversation because you're just making stuff up. I'm out, bye.

    Should central banks be abolished?

    I see. In that case, I expect you'll be the first in line to willingly admit yourself to a Gulag when we reinstate them? Have fun! Banking is only a small part of self-governance... but those are, apparently, the ramblings of a child :rolleyes:

    Should central banks be abolished?

    Well, you've nailed the problem with your circular logic right here in my opinion. We democratically elect our leaders, ergo we rule ourselves (albeit in a representative manner). This means we don't actually want the things you're talking about. We don't care if someone who made poor choices...

    Should central banks be abolished?

    This is a very naive view of the world IMHO and, I don't think you know me that well to boot. I'm quite sure most people are idiots... including you and me. But, I have no desire to control them or strip them of their natural God given right to be that way. I suspect if you give it more...

    Should central banks be abolished?

    I never meant to imply people were perfect, only that they should be able to rule themselves. I suspect you're just cracking jokes and don't actually feel otherwise, yes?

    Weird NASDAQ web-site bug.

    If you try to visit the "summary" information page for General Dynamics (ticker GD), nasdaq.com will show the S&P GSCI Commodity Index Futures page instead. o_O Here's the link: https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/gd Of course this doesn't happen with other companies, e.g...

    Are there advantages to selling calls at several strike prices?

    Wait! You mean we can't just make stuff up as we go along? Crap... I'm going to have to revisit my whole strategy now. P.S. I'm pretty sure it was a unicorn, not a pony.

    Should central banks be abolished?

    Yeah, IDK... the pessimist in me suspects that the adage "power corrupts" will always apply. And, as you may agree, it's not just the words, but their meaning that matters too. OTOH, I think that social institutions (whatever their name) have no choice but to improve (not just evolve) as time...

    Should central banks be abolished?

    Thank you. As was implied previously, "coalitions of free and voluntary people" are not necessarily distinct from "governments". I think it'd help foster an intellectually honest conversation if the issue wasn't framed as if they were. That's a matter of semantics and if you want to nit pick...

    Should central banks be abolished?

    What's your angle here? Are you accusing me of not paying taxes? Are you one of these cradle to grave big government socialists? I never said "I want to abolish government" verbatim. I pointed out that if it's to be replaced, it should be replaced by "Coalitions of free and voluntary people."...

    Should central banks be abolished?

    Fyi, Somalia has both a government and central bank so you may want to rethink your argument since the assumptions are completely wrong. I agree completely.

    Should central banks be abolished?

    The very same people. Who else is going to? Conscripts? Slaves? Who do you think should? Do you want to come here and take care of me by coercion? Or, do you think you should be allowed to coerce other people to take care of you? That type of arrangement doesn't hold up very long IMHO.
