Sure thing, why don't you give it a try and let us know how it goes? While you're at it, why not set up a software company to replace microsoft, after all it costs them pretty much nothing to download that copy of MS Office to your computer that you have to pay $120/year for right? And...

LTCM failed and the partners ended up with nothing. The bailout was for the broader economy, not LTCM.

The key thing we have to do in our mental model is disconnect the futures price of forex and the actual future price. That's confusing for sure. The futures price is a contract you can enter into today to lock in a price at a given time in the future. The pricing on this is entirely determined...

Let me ask you this, do you feel that interacting with people who are smarter than you in a particular field or area increases your intelligence, gives you inspiration, triggers new ideas, and in general has a positive effect on you? That's certainly what happens for me. Why wouldn't the...

Interestingly none of the internet stack stream of consciousness you spewed has the least bit to do with Google except for duckduckgo.

That is actually incorrect. Any fees absolutely have to have statutory authority. The Section 31 fee levels, for example, are set by formula that is specifically laid out in, you guessed it, Section 31 of the Securities and Exchange Act. The SEC doesn't have any discretion to change it outside...

You're talking about conservatives trying to either nationalize "big tech" or close it down, because they're too lazy or not smart enough to build their own servers/security systems/infrastructure to simply compete? Listening to the CEO of Parler whine about how Amazon should be forced to give...

Yeah, it's a fundamental aspect of forex forwards and futures markets. Futures are purely mechanically priced based on current spot and the relative interest rates of the two countries. It's a no arbitrage situation, if that wasn't the case you could set up a risk free arb by selling in one...

One place to start thinking about this is to look at relative interest rates. The relative interest rates of two currencies is the sole factor determining the forward/futures price of that currency pair. And while JPY was the exception that proved the rule, in general currencies respond over the...

Sure thing tough guy.

So you're unwilling to put up then. Good to know you're the kind of troll who gets his jollies off launching personal attacks from behind an anonymous online account but considers an offer to actually meet with the person you're attacking to be an "attempt to intimidate and manipulate". You're...

And he moves straight to the ad hominem attack. Sure sign of someone who's lost the argument and now has nothing left but personal attacks. BTW though, I run a successful private company that I built, after serving more than 20 years in the military. I'm happy to have you by the office for a...

Like I said, you don't seem to grasp what pump and dump means. If you have any evidence that Elon pushed GME up by buying thinly traded shares and hyping the stock, then dumped those shared into the market to make a profit, then we could have an intelligent conversation about pump and dump...

You're either misusing the term "pump and dump" or don't understand the process of building a new company to the point of a public offering.

Well at least we've verified that even you don't know what your point was.

And quite inconveniently the deficit skyrocketed entirely because of the Trump tax cuts.

Again, what are you hoping to accomplish by this tone? And is this really the way you talk to people in day to day life (I hope for your sake it isn't!)? Take a deep breath and go read my post again, then decide if my pointing out that "free" commissions going away wasn't a bad thing for...

Still don't know that you know what your point is? Is it that a picture of a boarded up window in NYC means NYC is no longer a desirable place to be and it's talent pool ecosystem is gone? If all it takes to demonstrate that in your mind is a picture of a boarded up window, then like I said...

No, the original post was asking if NYC had implemented an FTT. I'll wait while you go back and read it. In the second post of the thread I provided an answer in the most direct, succinct and accurate manner possible. I'll wait while you go read that too. You, on the other hand, decided to post...

That was a pretty unnecessarily asshole level reply there, is that really how you interact with people in day to day life? Why, exactly, did you feel the need to take that tone and what did you hope to accomplish? Sorry if you're having a rough day/week/month, but being a dick for absolutely no...
