Look again at what, the number of car accidents, the number of deaths from other causes, some other thing? Look again at the squirrel? If I said something that was incorrect then please do point it out specifically as well as the correct number and the source for that number. Vague statements...

Stocks have been T+2 since 2017, options and FOPS and T+1 and futures are same day settlement. I'm not aware of anything thats T+3.

This guy has gone through about 10 different usernames here on ET over the space of years, and eventually is either banned or ignored by so many people that he is no longer able to get his jollies off of trolling and has to start fresh with a new username. He's truly pathetic. Best to just block...

Actually car crashes don't even make the top 10 causes of death in the U.S. Between 35,000 and 38,000 people a year die in car crashes, while suicide, the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S. kills 47,000 (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/leading-causes-of-death.htm)

I would certainly be interested!

Very useful. Is this something available from a commercial service or is it your own analysis?

"Unconstitutional" means that something is prohibited by the U.S. Constitution or one of it's amendments. Which specific portion of the Constitution would prohibit this, the Third Amendment? The 21st? Have you actually ever even read the Constitution?

Not to mention that nowhere in the article does it talk about Tesla "competing" with PG&E, which technically they can't do since PG&E has been granted the monopoly franchise in it's service territory. Nor do batteries of course generate or distribute power, which are the two things PG&E...

Marketing studies have shown testimonials are effective. Why show scantily clad women when selling crappy beer? It doesn't have to be rational to work.

Because the law requires them to say that. You'll see that disclaimer on all testimonials of this type from any broker. If you don't see it that would be a reason to question going with that broker.

If it gets liquidated above your strike, your put option expires worthless. That's a good point you make, liquidation doesn't necessarily mean bankruptcy and a $0 price like it usually would for a stock. If anything the chance of early termination of your option decreases the value of your...

I'm too lazy to search the options clearing corp site but there's a rule that allows you to cash out your puts if the underlying goes away.

I understand one trick with them is to call when the U.S. office is closed and you'll get automatically pushed to one of their international offices. In a weird reversal of normal call center logic, apparently their overseas call centers are staffed with much more competent folks than their U.S...

I haven't but I understand you can. You might have to hang up and call again a few times to get a "customer service" agent who has the intellectual capacity to understand what you're asking, but then you have to do that with most questions with those clowns.

Negotiations class I highly recommend, and it is one where I'll diverge from my usual push for MOOCs and say that you're probably better off taking it at whatever local college you can in-person rather than online. Half the class is actual negotiation exercises and it would be really hard to get...

I found them to be fun and enlightening while taking them but then have found no application for anything but the most basic concepts since, concepts that were also covered in negotiations classes. If you've got the time I'd definitely take one just because you'd enjoy it. And you may very well...

Clearly not! Must be PTSD.

I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to @systematictrader who claimed that depression wasn't a real thing because allegedly no one suffered from it until now. Sorry but that fully deserves not only the contempt it got but more. As far as if you can get PTSD from watching video or not, I...

Right, clinical depression isn't real, it's just made up millennial weakness? Fake news? All rightey there tough guy. And yeah, clinically depressed people have been committing suicide since the beginning or recorded history, it's not a new thing that was somehow non-existent 50 years ago...

No! By the time you realize the PTSD level trauma happened it's too late and you're basically already messed up. That's my point, and I've seen some pretty damn tough dudes completely screwed up by it. Like I said, it's insidious stuff that our culture pushes people into denying until it's too...
