    Is it dangerous not to specify that you are employed in your broker account?

    When I filled out a new account with TDA, they asked for my employer's address, zip code and my home address. As well as my mailing address. I gave them my mailing address (post office box) as a home address. And 2,3 days later I got an email message from Compliance saying my application was...

    Carbon Credits

    Yeah, I understand it was not real acid in the atmosphere, but if you eyes burned like mine, you would have thought so. I am not concerned about efficiency. Because the products being produced today are infinitely cleaner and more efficient than the ones produced 40, 60,75 years ago. These...

    Carbon Credits

    ### More wrongness. A major portion of our (U.S.) consumed petroleum goes into materials production for things like, ohhhhh, the plastics THAT SURROUND YOUR SCREEN RIGHT NOW. Further, the United States is a major *exporter* of petroleum -- including the majority from Alaska (heading to Japan and...

    Carbon Credits

    I don't doubt that cap and trade has had a positive effect on business for several years. But that was in the beginning. It doesn't solve the problem that the industries producing excessive levels of pollution are still producing it decades later. It's an old idea that was good when it was...

    Carbon Credits

    Emissions are always going to be produced because something has to occur at the source, whether it is more coal being fed into a boiler or more uranium being being produced at a nuclear power plant. Nothing is free. Electricity doesn't happen by itself. But when the cars are moving in urban...

    I wonder what the ratio of longs and puts on the S/P 500 would tell us?

    when is this market going to top?

    I hope 'Hopium' is better than 'Hope and Change'. The last 8 years were long ones.

    Carbon Credits

    Let's talk about Carbon Credits.... They've been around for about 25 years but we don't hear much about them. If a company emits too much pollution ( steel , coal consuming energy company) they buy credits from a company that produces less than a specific amount to offset the excess that they...

    What kind of approach can make you INSANELY rich?

    Chelsea Clinton's husband did that with Greek bonds, lost 90 percent of the money and finally liquidated his hedge fund this week.

    when is this market going to top?

    I think it has topped already. It's just waiting for a reason to correct itself and drop back. It's not unusual to see market results at the end of the day and journalists will remark that gains in the DJI 30 were motivated by 2,3 of the same stocks everyday. Apple, GS, VISA, US Steel...

    Goldman mulls collapse in gasoline demand

    Canada doesn't need taking over, they are our 51st state. Mexico sounds like a possibility though. The oil fields they have been drilling for the last 100 years previously belonged to Exxon and other American oil companies. They socialized them from us in the 1930's (it was about then ) and...

    Goldman mulls collapse in gasoline demand

    Does that mean that the fall in consumption is an indication of an upcoming Recession? Or is it an indication of more fuel efficient cars and electric vehicles?

    Goldman mulls collapse in gasoline demand

    The chart suggests 695 MN barrels and the U.S. uses 19 MN barrels a day. So, that would be about 5 weeks. But that does not include the oil we would be producing domestically at the same time or importing from Canada and Mexico. But don't put too much importance on the oil...

    AAPL

    The iPhone 8 has got to be good because they are moving initial production up to June. The article I read yesterday said that normally the don't begin production until August. And the phone will not be released until September. So. ... whatever they have up their sleeves, it is going to be...

    AAPL

    That's a nice pic of their HQ and they have a new one under construction. I hope they don't fall under the new HQ syndrome. A lot of companies build brand new headquarters and then go bust a few years later........GM, Enron, Sears. But Apple has $246 BN on hand........so that's not likely...

    AAPL

    I saw this over the weekend. It's a nice market comparison you don't normally see. Basically, they illustrated the growth of iPhones and the annual percentage of current owners that buy a new phone every year. The article only emphasizes the replacement rate, not new owners. But in 2018 they...

    Man goes all in ($250k) in APPL puts and live streams his reaction.

    The guy said he was autistic in the video.....'a high functioning autistic' by his own words. If the account was fake, maybe the guy has a mental problem and actually thinks it's real. Or knows it's fake but takes the demo account to a new level. Anyone who wears a ridiculous wolf mask, while...

    Redditor yoloing on AAPL

    He is from Canada, it's probably one of those progressive Android Blackberries. In his video he said he was a 'high functioning' autistic person and that 'years ago I would have been considered a retard'. That makes me feel better about him.

    Guy bets everything on Apple Shares to Fall after Earnings Report

    Did you see his youtube video.....he was wearing a wolf mask.....while sipping wine thru a straw and getting sick in a wastebasket. Even Shrekel.....the pharmacy CEO guy was watching and he saw that the guy's account number began with DU which means he was paper trading. So....he could have...
