If you "make" them do something it's probably prima facie not legal! You're obviously trying to avoid some restriction, although it's unclear even what country you're even in and your obviously not telling us the entire story. Bottom line, no. What you think of as a clever circumventing if the...

They've got a minimum franchise tax that makes it even worse, from what I remember.

You pretty much summed it up. The benefits aren't huge and it's a bit of a PITA.

The loading and unloading of oil is highly conducive to quarantines and social distancing. It's almost entirely automated and generally no-one even has to get off the ship. In fact in many cases most of the crew is prohibited from leaving the ship even in normal times for customs clearance...

Doesn't the entire market stop trading when the circuit breaker is hit? How could they lock in the gain?

These would be the ultimate short in a time like this. Either things go back to normal and they crash and you make money. Or everything goes to hell like they're predicting, at which point you don't really have to worry about covering your shorts:D

Take a gander at the price chart of oil, the world's currently awash in it. Of all the commodity supply chains we depend on the oil sector is probably one of the least manpower intensive, it makes up only a fraction of a percent of the U.S. workforce. It's going to be one of the last things we...

I think you might be missing the bigger picture of how a S Corp or LLC work. Everything is passed through to the members, so from a tax perspective a capital gain or loss in an S Corp where you are the sole shareholder is identical to a capital gain or loss in your personal account. So yes, you...

But buying stocks in 2008 not so much. That's the question, is it 2009 yet? Hindsight is always 20/20.

If that's their strategy it's not really a sound one. In the U.S. at least, the fracking operations are often very low capital, quick operations. They'll put them all out of business, and the minute the price of oil goes back up the same number will reform and within a couple months be producing...

Keep in mind this is volpunter who in his various incarnations thinks that we should take care of that Jewish problem as well, and the gays, and even at one point the Italian Americans who apparently run all the short lending in the world.....

Your choices of framing say a lot. For example, for group 1 you chose to include a category of: "People that share only (or mostly) facts." For group 2 you apparently chose to decide that there's no-one in group 2 who fits the above category, and came up with the more pejorative: "People that...

It's interesting isn't it, that pretty much every thread @farmerjohn1324 joins devolves to crap since he decided to start gracing us with his presence?

Do you even have a basic understanding of what's required for a trade imbalance to work from a macro point of view. Actually let's go back a step, do you even know what macroeconomics is, let alone anything about it? This has got to be one of the most asinine and idiotic posts on ET this week...

Leveraged funds return the specified percentage (200%, 300%, -100%) of the DAILY return of the index they track. That means that if as @guru explained the index is choppy going up and down the daily return will not be the same as the long-term return if you had held 200% or 300% or been short...

In case you haven't noticed, everyone in the U.S. except a few rabid Trump supporters are ignoring Trump at the moment for anything beyond if he signs or doesn't sign the various stimulus bills. Everyone's recognized the emperor has no clothes and is a complete joke so they've taken matters into...

What bank "bail in" rule are you referring to? Banks actually fail all the time, usually small savings and loans or community banks, and there is no "bail in" that happens, FDIC just pays the delta and protects deposits. Brokers lend money as well as banks, where do you think margin loans come...

That's actually a pretty good example. First, the NAV divergence is probably there because the underlying assets are illiquid enough that the creation unit feature isn't worth doing until the NAV diverges by more than a percent or so. Right now it's trading at a .88% premium. The reason it's not...

Seriously dude, go back and read all your posts in this thread https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/its-over-historical-bull-run-has-come-to-an-end.340894/ We'll all wait while you do. Literally everything you said proved to be wrong...everything! Let's just pull out a "best of" though since...

Go read the thread where you argued that the stock market was going to respond to the last NFP report despite it being week old data and backward looking. You know, the one where you were completely and utterly wrong, and yet somehow you insisted that I was the one who knew nothing about macro...
