Were the dead people really dead, or were those false positives? Oh, we just had an extra 120,000 people die over the past 4 months, but it wasn't from COVID, could have been just the common cold right? I I can see from your response that you have lost your last tether to reality and anything...

Pretty clearly a narc. Unfortunately as we see all too clearly at the national level, while all narcs can be destructive, rich narcs can be incredibly so.

Yeah, I really don't get the Wirecard style fraud where they just make up cash that doesn't exist. That phantom cash carries forward on the books forever. So the only way to avoid the inevitability of getting caught is to funnel back $2B in legitimate profits over the subsequent years. Which...

It's not a "position", it's simply data. Every state has a dashboard that shows the number of positive COVID tests vs total test and number of deaths. You can find Florida's at https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/96dd742462124fa0b38ddedb9b25e429 and Texas' at...

First off, those are bucket shops not brokers. Second, you need to show them a passport or other ID that's not US based to withdraw your money. Unless you're a dual citizen you're out of luck at that point. I award you a 0 for horrible advice!

You must no be paying attention to what's happening now in the states that eschewed social distancing vs those that pushed for it? Pretty much everything in this post is parroting now thoroughly debunked nonsense that Trump pulled out of his ass, wake up and take a look around!

I can tell you from first hand experience you can make significant economic returns and profits from building solar farms. Not sure how I could be more clear, we can replace terawatts of now far more expensive coal and nuclear power with solar and wind. That doesn't happen by magic, it requires...

I was trying to make an unrelated analogy but I now see it is pretty tied into the puts themselves. I have this thing where if the odds are good I place a bet against the thing I want to happen so that I at least get a consolation prize if I lose. I don't want the markets to tank by Dec, it...

I look at them like betting on Trump to win in Nov. The odds make it profitable enough that it's somewhat of a consolation if it happens, but most definitely NOT what I want to happen.

Only way we learn right? I'll admit I've got some underwater QQQ Dec puts at the moment, although I still might get vindication on that.

I feel like this prediction didn't age well?

A travel ban makes some sort of sense. Too bad that's not the remedy we're discussing, isn't it?

Hypocrisy knows no political boundaries, let's not get on our high horse here. I could list 100 things off the top of my head that conservatives were for before they were against them. Like the Heritage Foundation health plan that became the Affordable Care Act, for example? Maybe the whole...

I'd disagree pretty strongly with that assertion. For example, ten years ago solar was $6 a watt and power produced by solar cost around $200/MWH. This year we've routinely seen large unsubsidized tenders come back at $15/MWH or less, which is a fraction of the $60-$130/MWH of coal plants. The...

The Gates Foundation has functionally eradicated several diseases and done immense good in the world. They proudly pay market salaries for their people in order to attract the best people, it's one of Gates' core philosophies. By your philosophy, Bill Gates is a moron. Why in the world would...

"Some groups" based on what, your learned opinion? Why don't you take a look at hospital profits over the past 3 months and tell me what you find, just to highlight one absurdly wrong assertion you're making from a place of utter ignorance? And while you're at it, why don't you look up the...

Forex futures are mechanically linked by a no arbitrage relationship to spot and interest rates of the two currencies. They in no way reflect what investors think the price will be "in the future" as their name somewhat deceivingly implies. So yes, they follow spot exactly when you take into...

That's exactly what @777 said, you disagreed with, and I just wasted multiple points trying to demonstrate. Glad we're all in violent agreement now!

The capitalization and technology required to be a MM by definition make it unobtainable for a retail trader. Therefore suggesting that a retail trader become a MM to avoid adverse selection is idiotic. Right up there with "Let them eat cake". I think the point you're missing is the the...
