Again, I asked you to quote the specific law you stated exists. That shouldn't be so hard now, should it? Simple request, put up of shut up. And GS doesn't buy AAPL or any other stock for their own account ever, they haven't been allowed to since 2009 when the Volker Rule banned prop trading by...

Um, no it doesn't. Perhaps you could quote the actual section of USC you are referring to? Of course you can't because it doesn't exist. Maybe read up a little on the Volcker Rule while you're at it.

Not to mention, GS is following the law and "Roaring Kitty" was violating it. If one doesn't like the law, then congress is the appropriate body to complain to and about. Not the agency doing their job enforcing the law.

Thank you for that distinction on economics as discussed in a trading forum. I'll spell out my point for you since it seems to have flown over your head. In 2009 we saw exactly the same hand wringing we're seeing in this thread about exactly the same thing. It not only came to nothing, but the...

After we saw the S&P 500 go up by 400% since 2008 it's certainly possible that happens again as well. Or a giant asteroid could hit us, or a virus that actually kills 50% of people and is transmitted like COVID could emerge, or we could end up in another world war or...... Sure, nothing is off...

You'll be happy to hear that a bill attached to the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) closed the anonymous shell corporation loophole. Now beneficial ownership of every state corporation has to be passed to FinCEN. Of course when you have corruption at the level of the Trump...

Just remember what we all (I include myself here) were saying about the imminent rampant inflation in 2009. I lost a bit of money engaging in that bet back then, how about you all? As a somewhat related aside, keep in mind that when the U.S. sells a 30 year treasury at 2% today they're going...

That's a yuge brain, a "very large brain", amiright? Are you really that bored now that Twitter banned you and you got kicked out of the white house that you have to come here to ET and brag about how bigly smart you are Donald? You just can't make this lack of self awareness up, thanks for the...

I love the small minds who think that a. They're important enough that the SEC would send an agent to debunk their idiocy on the internet and b. anyone who points out their ignorance must be part of some 'gubmnt conspiracy. Stop flattering yourself.

Anyone who thinks the SEC "make laws" is so fundamentally ignorant to how the U.S. government works that they don't deserve to be a citizen, let alone participate in a discussion about how a government agency works. Please, stop embarrassing yourself. Shut up and maybe listen and learn a little...

This thread was specifically about the "deed" of the SEC halting trading on companies that in reality don't exist. You said, in response to that, "Need to sue the SEC. Criminals." But when it was pointed out who the actual criminals were in this specific case, THE CASE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE...

Who "reputable but not regulated", specifically? The counterparty risk on all of these things I've seen is insane compared to the single digit returns they're giving, but maybe I'm missing someone like GS putting their balance sheet on the line to back up a transaction with me?

So in general you're not even putting together comprehensible sentences, so we can only assume you are a bot or drunk. But more importantly to the whole "sue the SEC" crowd, one of these names caught my eye because I vaguely remember the company going out of business several years ago, HLXW. So...

Feel free, let us know how it works out for you tough guy!

They say not to wrestle with a pig because you'll both just end up dirty and the pig will like it. That's been my experience with trying to help anyone on Reddit. It seems to take about 3 posts before there are people yelling that you're a stupid stupid dumb dumb poopies head like they're in...

Reddit is a cesspool of idiocy compared to here. No love lost between me and IB, but I don't blame them for avoiding it!

This, boys and girls, is why you don't drink and post.

Interestingly Fedex, an entirely private company, is doing the same thing (FedEx to convert parcel fleet to EVs by 2040, eyeing a carbon neutral future | Utility Dive), so perhaps that is just what smart companies in the delivery business are doing? Kind of takes down the reflexive political...

We may be saying the same thing. Imagine you had $1M in your margin account and used it to buy $1M in IBM stock. You are using no margin, but you could borrow against that original $1M in IBM stock to buy up to $1M more IBM stock using margin. Let's say instead you sold short $1M in F stock. You...

Generally saying something that represents a little over 1/3 represents 1/2 is generally not thought of as a legitimate approximation by any reasonable person. With those error bars you could just as easily have said 25% of GDP comes from government spending and you'd actually closer to the true...
