Just a few months ago I was reading a book about Bay Street (Canadian version of Wall Street). 'Thieves of Bay Street' There was a case where an imploded hedge fund, resulted in the manager going to a meeting with a few clients. In a public office setting, the two clients mentioned they were...

Let's forget about Mr. Meta for a minute. I would just like to give a moment of silence today in respect to all those PayPal holders who bought in at the top. R.I.P.

I saw that book earlier today, but because of this thread I decided to grab it now for curiosity. In the meantime I just have the problem of getting enough time to read it.

I've got The Alchemy of Finance, and was a little confused after the first read. Read it again, and still felt a lot of this was silly bull. Decided maybe someday I'll try it a 3'rd time because I may be missing the obvious. Then I read one of Taleb's books where he tore Soros's book apart, and...

LOL. I'm not a pay-pal fan, but I came just here to see WTF was going on there. Looks like someone already beat me to it. We all knew this day was coming (well the experienced ones anyhow). And she's still got a ways to fall yet on the correction. However, I was expecting her to correct over a...

For those who read 'Aftershock', it was predicted years ago the Chinese real-estate developers would go belly up causing a disaster in that sector, with the banks going under in China soon after. Looks like things are going right on schedule... As much as some people like to criticize the...

Sorry I was not able to make it this morning. I was so sick & vomiting since yesterday. Hopefully the webcast is indexed somewhere.

Don't most brokers now offer fractional shares? I don't see the need? I guess it's good marketing though, entice more sales for something that's still highly over-priced. There may come a time, they will have to reverse this decision :sneaky:

Well, you can use a wrapper to send it over Ethereum. :sneaky:

I'm surprised no one mentioned it here yet. So here goes. P.S. I never cared to pay attention to on-line famous people like Poseidon, though last time I did, he seemed to be involved in some pyramid ponzi-scheme. I guess we shouldn't be surprised with this crypto rug-pull then.

Monday morning; I've been up all night studying financial statements, just like that Chicken Buffet guy. He had two rules. One was don't lose money, and the other rule I'm not sure about because I forgot. Anyway, it's still dark outside but it doesn't matter because we can trade Futures before...

Patryn, who changed his legal name twice, NOT surprised there. There is a very good reason why he was put in prison... And the victims are plenty.

Oppressed counties need to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange. Our country has had an explosion of crypto ETFs for about a year now (too many to keep track of), our crypto-exchanges are licensed and regulated (easy to do), and our provinces fight over which one can give Chinese and Russians the...

Ok I'm curious. I remember Mercury Trading was John Najarian's team (I don't believe it lasted). Is that who we are talking about? Or are am I mis-understanding. As for the first video in this post, I recognize it right off the bat as from Options A to Z. Funny, I was one of his first...

I was re-reading the other day about the Bre-X scandal (there is a movie about it now). If you don't know what I am talking about, then you are probably not a gold-bug. I found out by surprise that my mom recently told me that she got screwed on it (bought in near the top and almost lost all...

Almost 2-years to the day ago... I was looking up the financial docs for Dollar Tree Dollar General Dollar Rama But... very little dividends, with what already seemed to be inflated stocks. I decided to pass and will still pass equity on them. I find them very boring and there is not enough...

It is very dangerous to short a highly volatile asset/commodity that has already been pressed down significantly for the highs and is a spring waiting to be sprung. Or let's just say, a coiled snake ready to strike. If you still have conviction on shorting here, good luck to you sir.

A synthetic stock without the same strikes is referred to as a Split-Strike Synthetic Stock. I guess if you are determined for a name we can just go with the term Split-DTE Strangle.

I know the answer to this riddle! 2-Legs :cool:

BTC's 2400 has shown some incredible support at that level, only dipping a bit down to 2200 in the worst during Monday's Panic. I had expected a whole leverage collapse, but since it fell down so much from the top already, I guess there is only so much downward pressure you can apply. In a few...
