    Trump tests positive for Covid 19

    Every one of us is "dying already". Literally over 100 million, with an M, Americans have some condition (diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure....) that quality as one of your "co-morbidity" factors. To ignore that fact and keep on with this "only 6% were definitely from COVID" bullshit as if...

    Trump tests positive for Covid 19

    Or alternately it could mean those vaccines aren't designed to protect someone who has already been exposed, many vaccines aren't and some have to be in your system for some time before they're effective. Still wondering where the ultraviolet light and bleach treatments are, and why did they...

    Trump tests positive for Covid 19

    Literally almost anyone from any party would handle it better. Republican Gov DeWine from Ohio handled it far better, Republican Gov Hogan from MD handled it far better, a slew of governors of both parties handled it far better. Denying the best advice of medical experts, as imperfect as it is...

    Billionaire Returns to High-Tax New Jersey to Face $120 Million Tab

    I just can't get over the fact that people seem to think money is valuable for its own sake rather than for the freedom having money gives you. Including the freedom to live wherever you choose, which is pretty high up the freedom scale for me after 20 years in the military where they told me...

    No Government shutdown, funded through Dec 11th, typical as usual!

    It really sucks if you're in the federal government. Every time you have to put in a significant amount of preparation several weeks in advance and every time you have to treat it as if it's going to happen. You need to determine who critical civilian employees are and who isn't, contractors...

    Trading with Parkinson's disease (my diagnosis).... ideas?

    You might look at hiring someone to do your clicking for you. It would be a pretty cool summer job for a high schooler interested in trading, and they'd probably be happy at minimum wage compared to the other jobs open to them. Heck with zoom you could hire someone anywhere to do it for you...

    Tax loss carryforward after going broke in trade?

    I don't know, bankruptcy is pretty much tailor made for this type of situation if you've already unsuccessfully tried to get the debt discharged voluntarily. I run a couple of loan programs and so have some insight in to underwriting standards and credit scores. I was surprised that in some...

    Is it worth it to change from an IB to a FCM?

    But not nearly as exclusive and limited as darjeeling. You definitely won't find anything about that here on this forum.

    I cant trade OTC stocks with IB because their price caps. Need an alternative

    You appear to be unaware of what OTC stands for....Over The Counter. There is no such thing as "direct market access" because there is no "market" to access, that's literally what OTC means. All OTC trading is done with market makers or brokers arranging large orders.

    Short-locating QQQ vs. Buying PSQ - Novice Day Trade Help

    Thanks for pointing that out, especially salient given that so many people incorrectly call this "decay". About the only thing you can say with certainty about leveraged funds that provide a daily percentage return is that they'll almost never provide exactly their leveraged return over the long...

    Short-locating QQQ vs. Buying PSQ - Novice Day Trade Help

    If you're only trading intraday than just putting on a position 1/3 the size you otherwise would with TQQQ is the same as trading QQQ. The tracking error is small enough to be a non-factor in that fund and there's no risk as long as you resist the temptation to put on a position 3X larger than...

    California bans sales of gas powered vehicles by 2035

    Well they were pretty successful in 1980 at eventually getting rid of much of the toxic smog in LA, and the right wing haters were saying exactly the same thing then. Ironic given Beijing's current situation with almost unbreathable air that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single...

    California bans sales of gas powered vehicles by 2035

    Yet the state produces nearly twice the GDP per capita of a right wing mecca like Mississippi that presumably doesn't do all those things you allege and thus in your opinion must be run by a bunch of geniuses? Seriously, at what point do results and the will of the people in a state to pass...

    Hedge Funds Head for Florida With Taxes on Rich Rising Elsewhere

    Having lived in FL in the summer, I can only surmise you've either never lived in FL in the summer or are unfortunate enough to come from one of the few places like Houston that are hotter with higher humidity than FL in the summer?

    Custom margin limits / margin offsets? Does any broker provide?

    What is the size of your account? That exists, but it's kind of like one of those "if you have to ask the price you can't afford it" things. Not that it's expensive, but you'd need to have the experience and account size that would mean you'd already know the answer to your question in order to...

    Gates Foundation Teams Up With Vaccine Maker to Produce $3 Covid-19 Shots

    Well Christmas is 3 months away not one. I can see results potentially coming out then at the very earliest, although realistically it's probably Jan. The very phrase "before the election" as opposed to "by early November" indicates political rather than scientific timelines.

    California bans sales of gas powered vehicles by 2035

    I'm not sure I knew anyone in the 7 years I lived in California who hated it there but had to live there for the job, which you seem to believe is the case. Certainly there are things like high housing prices that suck, but in the places I lived in the SF Bay area prices were high because...

    California bans sales of gas powered vehicles by 2035

    If you were old enough at the time you would have been saying it was "dem overregulation" when they mandated emissions controls which took the smog from choking dangerous levels to almost non-existent in places like LA today. We're a republic precisely so that places like CA which have their own...

    Can you still buy or short a stock in IB, if you lending fully-paid shares of stock Programs?

    Makes no sense but you see people on here insisting it does for forex all the time. Nonetheless, to answer your question then, you're fine selling it and then subsequently going short. Keep in mind, there's nothing that says IB will actually lend your shares and as far as I know there's no way...
