    Trying to get mortgage loan as full-time trader

    For a conforming mortgage (ie one that is financed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae) you need 3 years of w2 income in an industry you have familiarity with. However, depending on the size of your mortgage, your net worth, and your total tax income, the bank can hold the mortgage inhouse. In that...

    Florida high school under lockdown after reports of shooter, victims, police say

    It is horrific. It should not be politicized unless the shooter is a Dreamer.

    The Rise And Fall Of America

    Tell me if I am missing the point: America became great because immigrants came here and prospered. Some of them became rich and powerful. No mention of the toll this took on the common worker. America today is failing because the common man wants higher minimum wages and a safety net. No...

    The Rise And Fall Of America

    I don't understand the video. Its extremely light on insight and heavy on thematic music. Is it anti-democracy? anti- populism? It seems to be Pro-elitism.

    This firm invited me to an expensive steak dinner, not impressed with Firm.

    Were they courting for your business or for your employment? Half the pics on their site is of them running seminars to senior citizens.

    LJM Preservation and Growth Fund, collapsed by 82 percent! (WTF?)

    The move was extraordinary only in that vol moved faster relative to spx than most models would have predicted. But this was not out of the realm of what a professional firm should be testing for. Virtually every professional vol trader will be shocking their book for the "overnight gap...

    Trump to bar legal immigrants who use lawful entitlements from permanent residency

    I agree with this. I also believe your parents being citizens should not qualify you to be an American citizen. America should be run like a corporation. Each year Goldman Sachs fires 10percent of its workforce and hires a new 10percent. Every year America should expel the least intelligent...

    LJM Preservation and Growth Fund, collapsed by 82 percent! (WTF?)

    Even in that "juicing" these guys were long the equivalent of 100percent xiv. That's ludicrous. If they were running that kind of risk they should have made at least 100percent last year. Perhaps they were selling tinies in massive notional compared to their equity, which exploded in value as...

    LJM Preservation and Growth Fund, collapsed by 82 percent! (WTF?)

    I've been trading vol for 17 years. It was not as bad as some other events. it was certainly inside the universe that a professional vol pm should be managing his risk towards.

    LJM Preservation and Growth Fund, collapsed by 82 percent! (WTF?)

    It almost makes you angry that a professional volatility fund manager with a 20 year track record would blow up on an event like that. Its gross negligence.

    LJM Preservation and Growth Fund, collapsed by 82 percent! (WTF?)

    You could only lose that much if you were long xiv like 90percent or massively levered. Listed vol and gamma didn't produce that much pnl this week. It doesn't make sense.

    Quick idea, if it doesnt work its cool.

    I agree. Likes in the PNR and Chit Chat shouldn't count.

    LJM Preservation and Growth Fund, collapsed by 82 percent! (WTF?)

    The preservation and growth fund made money in 2008. Other funds of theirs blew up. https://www.ljmpartners.com/performance-history?qt-performance_history=1#qt-performance_history In light of that, It's even more shocking they would blow up on an event like this Monday which wasn't that bad in...

    George W. Bush: It’s Pretty Clear That Russia Meddled in 2016 Election

    Two possible reasons: 1. It wasn't clear at the time and it would be aggregious for a sitting president to make such a bold accusation without concrete evidence. 2. Trump effectively shut down any ability to make such a finding public when he, himself, made his own accusations that the...

    By Cade, you mean the Brazil anti-trust authority? They aren't the relevant agency though. It's the US as they are the ones who are nixing deals, especially in the semiconductor space.
