    According to some research that I read, the CAPE ratio will fall bellow its 25 year average by the end of this year as a result of Earnings growth and the bad earnings from the 2008 crisis that will be removed from the calculation (they use a 10y avg earnings figure). The whole CAPE thing is a joke

    When to switch to IB

    Its a good idea. Lower commissions will also allow you to scale in and out of trades. Fixed commission brokers are great if you trade penny stocks or if you are a big trader already, usually for 5,000 shares positions or more they are worth it. But for those starting out these fees can add up fast

    Does anyone here understand a lot about international wires, ABA numbers, Fedwire and payments?

    I see. I assume you were a Everbank client. They have been on a downhill ever since TIAA bought them, its sad

    Does anyone here understand a lot about international wires, ABA numbers, Fedwire and payments?

    I'm curious about how you found this out? Is that listed on their website? I might put that information in the future just so I dont have to deal with delays again

    Does anyone here understand a lot about international wires, ABA numbers, Fedwire and payments?

    I just received the wire, all I did was to write an email to my bank and tell them how dumb the request was and that an intermediary bank was not necessary. Somehow that was all it took. lol

    Does anyone here understand a lot about international wires, ABA numbers, Fedwire and payments?

    lol, thats exactly what I was thinking. No wonder why they became a penny stock in the last recession

    Does anyone here understand a lot about international wires, ABA numbers, Fedwire and payments?

    In this case I have provided both the ABA and Swift code, I'm not sure why they cant make the transfer to that bank given they know which bank it is

    Does anyone here understand a lot about international wires, ABA numbers, Fedwire and payments?

    I'm having an issue with an international wire. I sent from my account at my non-US bank to my US bank (TIAA bank). They use Citibank as a correspondent bank and Citigroup gave the following message to my non-US bank: " PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE AN INTERMEDIARY BANK FOR...

    Ackman is up 24% YTD and started a dividend to PSH shareholders. If FNMA goes the way I think it can go (a settlement with shareholders to clear the way for private recapitalization) he might have a monster year

    Global Macro Trading Journal

    The people behind a coin have a inherent interest in giving a distorted, glass half full view of the whole thing. When you combine that with the adverse selection of the market, and lack of subcommunications that come from a personal meeting, its really dangerous to do due dilligence based on YT...

    Hey, I gave up on trying to find special coins because the adverse selection was just too great in these ICOs and alt universe. Its probably less bad now because the market has been cleansed but with BTC down so much, it just seems a lot easier to buy more BTC (if I want to increase my crypto...

    There is still weakness in the market in the sense that prices are bellow the 200MA. To me, this is a more established indicator than short-term price action. A few weeks back markets were too oversold to sell, but now if anything they are a bit overbought AND bellow the 200MA AND late in the...

    The tough thing about US equity risk is that we are late in the short and long-term debt cycles, furthermore prices are bellow the 200MA. Selling part of my risk exposures into strength and building a cash cushion seems to be a prudent move. I'm still keeping a decent exposure, especially...

    I started to derisk my exposures, taking advantage of the strength in US equities. I sold my stakes in AMZN and MKTX for small profits and sold a little of BRKB. I plan to continue to size down BRK (my biggest US equity position) as this rally continues. My goal is to derisk my portfolio just in...

    Is IB's Hidden orders type "real" (or simulated)? Can a hidden Buy hit a hidden Offer?

    When the order status goes blue its not a truly hidden order, its more like a stop limit order of sorts. It needs to be green to offer a lot of benefits to the trader(like potentially reducing adverse selection). In order to do that direct route (rather than using SMART) to places...
