    Positive news is coming on Oxford Covid-19 vaccine backed by Astra Zeneca

    Unfortunately strategy like that requires significant actions like reallocating carriers and making nice with Japan to allow more Marines to be based there (actually just to keep them from kicking off the ones who are there). I just see rants, threats, and tweets happening. You only have to look...

    Coronavirus, Round 2: This Virus Doesn't Give a $hit about You!

    It's all about the data, I agree. And no matter how you slice it, tens of millions fall under the umbrella of "underlying conditions". Which to me, who cares about those tens of millions of lives as much as any others, means any discussion that runs along the lines of "you all are worrying about...

    Avoiding Wash Sales

    It might work the other way around, if someone sues you LLC it protects your personal assets. But if someone sues you the LLC is one of your personal assets same as the money in your bank account or your house, so it provides you no protection. And it's so vanishingly unlikely that a single...

    So so hard for you, I know. And you're so short on time, what with all these important posts you're making.

    Liberal anti white posters want free reign- No Way !

    And some of us who believe in the United States are actually able to read the First Amendment, one entire paragraph, which very specifically limits Congress and no one else from limiting speech. Here it is, since you appear to be unfamiliar: "Congress shall make no law respecting an...

    So I got this email from a "wealth advisory firm"...

    How? You don't "roll over" an option. You pay for it and the time value of what you paid goes to zero at the point it expires and you pay for it again with a new option. There's no way you can eat that loss of time value over and over and not lose huge amounts of money. If that wasn't the case...

    If markets were random why then does volatiliy spike at certains of the day (illustration inside)

    You also need to factor in the fact that something can be completely predictable in the market and you still can't make a dime off it unless the rest of the market is somehow all unaware of this predictable feature. If, for example it was a proven fact that volatility spiked at 9:45 every...

    Liberal anti white posters want free reign- No Way !

    You seem awfully triggered there snowflake, take a deep breath, then go back to the politics section where this kind of apoplectic ranting belongs. Don't worry, you can always go to your safe space if this is all too much for you.

    So I got this email from a "wealth advisory firm"...

    The whole "It also provides for 125% of the stock market gains over the next 5 years." part implies the return is guaranteed. There isn't a combination of traded options/stock/futures that can provide that and no downside unless the market falls more than 40%. You'd need to buy a put spread that...

    3 weeks of straight mask wearing equals elimination of virus?

    Sorry to go off topic but just out of curiosity are you permanently in Spain now? I remember some extensive discussions you had about where to live before all this happened so curious if you are there by choice or just ended up stuck there? Has the COVID response changed you opinion on the...

    3 weeks of straight mask wearing equals elimination of virus?

    When you can explain how the 144,000 dead people are all a "mistake" you might get some credibility back. Until then, it's clear you've never run an operation that involved even a couple dozen people let alone tens of thousands around the country. If there weren't mistakes being made in the 50...

    Avoiding Wash Sales

    Probably worth a call to Green Trader Tax rather than listen to anonymous jackasses on the internet. But if you insist on listening to anonymous jackasses on the internet: -You can avoid wash sales by simply not trading the same asset more than once in Dec. Not sure why an LLC would void the...

    So I got this email from a "wealth advisory firm"...

    He's scummy and an a-hole but completely legal. This doesn't sound legal at all, no way you can put together a set of instruments that provide 40% downside protection and 125% of gains on an index. Most probably a ponzi scheme. As @bone said, check if they're registered, if not then they aren't...

    New York Democrats Want To Tax Stock Trades As State Revenues Plummet

    Don't worry, it's only about 30 seconds. An absolutely brutal 30 seconds of federal agents beating a veteran in a way that has no possible justification. I know that makes you deeply uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that you'll literally put your hands over your eyes and claim "you have better...

    New York Democrats Want To Tax Stock Trades As State Revenues Plummet

    So what is it, I faked the front page of Yahoo news or not? Also sincerely curious if you are as appalled as I was by the beating of an unarmed and unthreatening veteran after actually watching it or if you still think that's "liberal bias"?

    New York Democrats Want To Tax Stock Trades As State Revenues Plummet

    I literally just pasted a screen shot from the front page of Yahoo News taken immediately after your claim of bias there. Do you dispute that the screen shot is accurate? If so, then there's clearly no way to have a rational conversation with you. But thanks for the vote of confidence in my...

    New York Democrats Want To Tax Stock Trades As State Revenues Plummet

    These are the top stories there now: If anything I'd call the first one pretty right wing biased, it seems to accuse parents of beating federal agents. Of course it could just be that parents actually were beating federal agents, then it would simply be reporting what's actually happening...

    New York Democrats Want To Tax Stock Trades As State Revenues Plummet

    Originally sourced Yahoo news makes up about a half a percent of the news on Yahoo News, you have to search pretty deep to the point of finding a guy who hasn't worked there for 2 years to find it. If that's your deep left slant....

    New York Democrats Want To Tax Stock Trades As State Revenues Plummet

    Still waiting for your example. I know, asking you to substantiate what you allege is "going to far", but seems pretty fair. And yeah, I guess if you consider "The FBI Agents Association (FBIAA) repeated its call for the partial government shutdown to end, arguing that it is undermining the...

    Coronavirus, Round 2: This Virus Doesn't Give a $hit about You!

    First off, for someone who was just talking about data, degrading into "I bet" sure happened fast. But more importantly, let's get this straight. According to your line of thinking, if you have a "severe case" of diabetes or asthma or over 65, then screw you, you're not a real human we should...
