Generally around $150K in the N Virginia area where that is significantly more than in SF. When I was in SF it was around $200K. We're talking straight developers here, either right out of undergrad or a couple years out for stuff that isn't rocket science by any means. If that is piss-poor pay...

Have you ever tried to hire a developer in SF/Seattle/Boston/NY/DC? Why don't you give it a try and get back to me on how there's plenty of underemployed software developers desperate for jobs and the big mean corporations just won't hire them. If you know of any, please PM me. Seriously, I'm...

Oh no, he's accusing me of being gay. What's next, is he going to claim I'm left handed as well. What is this 1995 high school or something? Luckily Silicon Valley is one of the few places that effectively has an intelligence test required before you can live there, so it's refreshingly free of...

When all you have is a hammer everything starts to look like a nail. Excel is the least best platform for doing this kind of thing. By the time you contort it to doing what you want you could have taught yourself Python and Java and written an application in either that would accomplish what you...

You clearly don't live in nor have ever lived in Silicon Valley.

If you buy stock in a company that has any debt outstanding you're buying an option. If you buy a piece of property that doesn't have the optimal improvement already built on it you're buying an option. If you buy a house using a mortgage you're buying an option. If you lease a car you're buying...

I think it's just supply and demand differences between the two groups of buyers/sellers. Since there's no way to arbitrage the two classes, they're really different securities with mostly different buyers and sellers. For whatever reason the outside China pool might really like one stock that's...

Yeah, the one I just bought was only gen 2, so you have to be OK with being a bit behind the curve in exchange for the deal.

Oh I'm long gone. But they pissed me off so much I make sure that every other unsuspecting potential customer doesn't have to go through the pain I did. Their pluses were originally low commissions and a larger universe of tradable products than their competition. It turned out that one...

So you know that Sully Sullenberger makes millions on speeches. As do Malcolm Gladwell and Michael Lewis, and any number of people who have nothing to gain from giving speeches except the money they make giving speeches and whose clients have nothing to gain from hiring them except the cachet...

The IV is going to be the same on anything that tracks the same underlying, i.e. SPX or SPY for ES, so if you have access to IV on those you've got IV for the FOPs. May or may not help you depending which FOPs you're looking at.

I just got one, recommend you give a look at Dell Outlet when there's a 50% off coupon. I picked a refurbished core-i7 for sub-$400 including shipping. I haven't done a ton of battery work on it, it tells me that I've got 4 hours of life on battery when doing Excel work with some browsing, but...

I don't get what you people don't understand about Trump and oil markets. How in the world does adding oil to an oil glut bring prosperity to anyone? And how much money does the federal government get from North Shore oil drilling again? Oh, and why the hell would we drill for oil 5,000 miles...

As an electrical engineering undergrad, I can tell you that you don't just decide to become an electrical engineer because thats where the jobs are. It's a challenging field that requires a certain amount of genetic lottery math and abstract thinking skills so you can't just throw anyone in and...

I would want to be upfront with my clients about all the "gotchas" so they wouldn't be pissed when they were surprised by fees. I run a business, and I never never never want my customers to be surprised by fees, especially one's they wouldn't reasonably expect. I also would never leave out...

Nothing at Interactive Brokers is ever as good as it "seems" and in many cases like this one they turn out to be downright terrible. When calculating the borrow fee they always round up on the value of the stock. That means if you tried to short a .10 penny stock with a 20% borrow rate, they...

I'm with you on that, I'm as enraged as anyone. The point being that the Arnie's of the world believe that there is a significant portion of the population abusing this system with generations living their entire lifetime on welfare, and the truth is that the abuses are rare and generally...

???

Thank you for making my point so well for me. You just posted a link to a google search for "multi generational welfare statistics" (thank you, I had no idea how to use Google). When I click the very first link on the search results, an article in the right leaning National Review magazine, the...

I'm missing the connection to U.S. oil drilling equipment suppliers and the fact that adding more oil to an oil glut will provide downward pressure on oil prices, oil equipment suppliers stock prices, and we can add to that list, the value of the Ruble?
