So this 131-23 is the bond yield, not price info? It has been dropping since Jan-2021. I recall bond yield has been rising. This is why I could not connect them together. I know bond future has risen over the past week or so....

No, Bitcoin is not a free market currency. It is a new thing and no government knows what to do with it. But eventually we'll see some international cooperation. Biden is doing the international minimum corporate tax standard. But with the bad relationships between US, China, Russia, Iran...

Wonder what kind of fees and conversion rate they use. Sure they have direct connection to the Bitcoin market. Some of its business could be related to Bitcoin too....

I think the Tech options whales are swimming up again. Gaming for Q1 earning at later this month. And the imbalance of US vs Europe vaccine roll-out saves the dollar and bonds for this time being. Reflation trade is at a pause now..... For how long?

But eventually US government will have to do something about it. Bitcoin now is like a black market currency. It is like US dollar in Cuba or Venezuela, or in the old East Germany. It can be used to fund illegal transactions. It bypasses country's capital control and the payment systems. No...

So if indeed that is true, would our 3.4% exactly double what China is spending. I think it is like $720B vs $220B. You sure can make it $720B vs $300B if you do not believe China's official figure. That is where we spend all the money in Iraq, Japan, Korea, Saudi, Syria and all other...

I think all the anti-police and police brutality are the results of our own "oppressiveness". When you are fined for $100 with 2 or more traffic points for driving 8mph over speed limit, I think your blood may boil over... When Republic control all 3 offices, and now all Democrats control all...

What is funny is that, US regulators and anyone has not done anything. They just left Bitcoin alone to itself..... Not sure about its future in US.

That is what "non public" is. Sure they have the documents, but not for the public.

Thumb down....

Clearly they did some homework and retrieved the names of the people who downloaded. And those parents were happy to pay the fines in order not to appear in courts with their kids....

Clearly download copyrighted material from internet is illegal. Period. No foul language can change that.

Whatever you say. If you ever worked for those large banks....

Is there an inverse ETF on the short side?

The current 10-year Treasury note future ZNM21 is quoting 131 23/32. I know this is price. But what kind of price? CME says it is the face value at maturity of $100,000. I know T notes have no coupons. So this is future price at maturity of $100? Also, how do I back out of the yield or...

Yes. This is why people from other nations laugh at us for having one of highest expenditure on military spending and spend $720B on defense. And we have these many poor people who have no saving nor retirement saving. And former Lehman CEO and former boss at NYSE both were paid like $300M...

It is not. They are just different jobs. I've seen risk or quant folks going to front office. And some end of career traders going to market risk. It is nothing like what you stated. Personally I've worked at both roles, and much more than those two....

Completely false. Mr. Billy Hwang is super competitive. But do not say he has the competitive "instinct" than some of the risk managers. People just have different jobs.... If you put any of the risk management guys in a trading position, they can be as competitive as any front office...

When the top 1% of US household controls 90% (just a guess) of US wealth, we get a problem. US median household net worth is about $220,000 and the average household net worth is more than $1,000,000.

Just do not forget the folks who was sued to download the MP3 music in the Napster era. Parents of some 13 year old kids had to pay $2,000 to $3,000 to settle the lawsuits against them. Somehow the music owners forced ISPs for the names of those offenders and sued them.... The law is not on...
