There must be thousands of these threads. All calling the top. What's crazy is that certain ET'ers keep making many new threads calling a top. Like for years now.

Well, Japan has an insanely high gross government debt-to GDP ratio. That's the metric that the US is heading for.

One of the two major problems with discount futures brokers is that they have no clue how to correctly margin a spread. Their Risk Management just isn't set up for it. They will typically margin each leg as outright risk - which is crazy.

:thumbsup: They're so cheap to margin and hold overnight that it makes more sense to swing trade them TBH. And I've day traded them, high speed traded them, pit traded them, etc. etc..

If you clear a really good FCM like Advantage or RJ Obrien or Dorman or RCG there's a chance you could lease TT or CQG-IC on a per-trade basis with a cap. The AutoSpreaders have all kinds of flexibility in terms of what order management - for example, what oders you show to the market and...

Very good firm that actually clears professional firms and that knows how to correctly margin a spread trade. :thumbsup:

And that’s how the Khmer Rouge got started, folks. ^^^^^^^^^^^^

If there is one thing that we've learned the past thirteen years - cover your short rather quickly. Case in point: end of February / beginning of March 2020 - if you didn't cover by the middle of April you were toasted crispy.

Spot on. :thumbsup: Brilliant post.

The originators of Communism would have a freaking cow if they saw what China and Vietnam are up to. Formula One racing venues. Gucci. Golf courses. Rampant consumerism. Oh, the bourgeois. Side note query: how is it that these two Communist Party States have gotten so addicted to...

Good luck.

Socialists will tell us how it works when we have our first example in history of a “working” Socialist economy. Venezuela is on the verge of Civil War with a suffering and starving population in despair - meanwhile, China and Vietnam are enjoying growth and prosperity that was simply not...

How do you plan on doing that ? Go back to the old system that you destroyed.

What has been missing here in this conversation is the way the "pros" tend to use equity indices with spread trading. Just about every relative value fund manager is going to employ some variation on this theme. Very seldom are they long one index name and short another index name. Primarily...

33 federal lawsuits field against Robinhood re: GME across the country as of yesterday - expected to grow substantially. Filed in 10 states, including California, Florida, Illinois, and New York, most seek class action status and allege violations of securities laws or consumer protection...

We're right in the approximate area where, if press reports are to be believed, that Melvin Capital covered their shorts.

WSB has been in this trade since early 2020 - and if they took partial profits last week there stands a chance that they can let the balance go to zero and still be millionaires.

File a formal complaint with your State Attorney General Office and your State Securities Regulator as well. :thumbsup:

There are so many plot lines to this story. What excites so many observers is that it has laid bare the Wall Street cabal for all to see. There was never any justice or reckoning for 2008 and that continues to irritate many honest, hard working people whose lives and careers were wrecked in...

Having to do Citadel's (and the rest of their HF clients) bidding essentially destroyed their business model. RH has alienated their client base IMO.
