    Warning - Inflation, Hyperinflation, Stagflation coming

    Thanks. Having the actual article is key, because in the vast majority cases they're referring to the main impact of the epidemics was an actual loss of a significant portion of the workforce in a short period of time from death. In this case we actually have the opposite problem, a loss of a...

    Kudlow: Trump may make announcements on next day or two on reopening

    And you've personally seen this or you just pulled it out your ass? Thought so.

    Kudlow: Trump may make announcements on next day or two on reopening

    And he won't denigrate them, ignore them, and spend his time telling us all how much better/smarter he is then them....in malformed incomplete sentences.

    IB Margin requirements rising as VIX falls, reaching nonsense levels

    Dash, clearing with Apex, using CBOE Silexx platform and API.

    Kudlow: Trump may make announcements on next day or two on reopening

    Again, repeat after me. Something that is contagious and kills people is different than something that isn't contagious and kills people. If you can't acknowledge that basic fact then you're either a moron or a troll. I don't think you're a moron, but you're clearly a troll. Speaking of...

    Kudlow: Trump may make announcements on next day or two on reopening

    You're being incredibly obtuse here. If you eat sugar to the point it causes you to die, does it increase the chance of death to those around you? If you sit in the sun to the point it causes skin cancer, does it increase the chance of death to those around you, and on and on and on. If you're...

    So the supposed Fed report is made up then, as I suspected.

    Interactive Brokers Incorrect Option Margin Requirements

    They calculate margin on each leg completely independent of the other. As a result, they charge margin for a debit spread, which is obviously absurd since you pay the full price of the spread up front and can lose no more than that.

    IB Margin requirements rising as VIX falls, reaching nonsense levels

    The high cost to exit from writing code to their API trapped me as well, but thank goodness I ripped that bandaid off. If you do want a more gradual transition, IB does have a FIX based API which is relatively standard across brokers. So you could refactor into FIX while still at API, and then...

    If you had a lot of cash money on the sidelines, where would you put it for income??

    All depends what your private business is. If it's a restaurant, yeah. If it's making parts used in respirators, you're probably doing great. Anyone who had a largely remote service company is actually doing pretty well at the moment as long as their clients are "essential businesses"

    If you had a lot of cash money on the sidelines, where would you put it for income??

    I personally went with a local installer who had been in business for several years and had a lot of good references. They did a good job and have been responsive for several years now. If you go with a national operator I'd stay away from Tesla and look toward Sunrun or Sunpower instead. The...

    Prediction: Amazon will buy USPS

    Seriously, Google the Clayton Act. Antitrust law is a bit complex, but TLDR is that those would be apples and oranges situations.

    If you had a lot of cash money on the sidelines, where would you put it for income??

    One idea, if you haven't already put solar panels on your house and business. After taking into account the tax credits and the fact that you're using after tax dollars to pay your electric bill, you may find a pretty decent IRR depending on how much your power costs. Not a huge investment, but...

    Prediction: Amazon will buy USPS

    Since it's a government entity it would have to be privatized before it was sold. No way in hell Bezos would buy it after its privatized unless the mandate was ended for sending a letter to anyone in the U.S. and its territories from anywhere else in the U.S. and its territories for the same...

    What's the best state to live in for tax purposes as a day trader?

    There's some implicit assumptions there that those moving to live in tax havens have their priorities straight when it comes to what really matters in life. The ability to make money (or inherit it) doesn't necessarily translate to the ability to be good at any other aspects of life. I also...

    Why is the efficient market hypothesis flawed

    You all probably want to go look up the actual definitions of weak form and strong form market efficiency as used by those who study the subject. They're a little (or in some cases a lot) more nuanced then the usage on this thread.

    What's the best state to live in for tax purposes as a day trader?

    Strive to be successful enough that you can live wherever you want simply because it's the place you want to live, not to be a slave to your money to the point that even the place you live is determined by someone else. If you make enough, the difference in state tax rates are irrelevant to your...

    XLE and its dividends

    You would have to look for announcements from each of the component companies in the fund and then weight them by their weight in the fund.

    Coronavirus: Boris Johnson moved to intensive care as symptoms worsen

    When you call someone "too thick" it's generally not a "gentle pointer" and pretty indicative of someone trying to piss someone else off. Would you really say that to me if we were (I know hard to imagine, but post COVID) sitting in a coffee shop face to face and expect that we would consider a...
