    Forcing Shareholder Buyouts through Reverse Splits

    I read it (well, most of it). I think OP got it all wrong. The regulators aren't going to let the company hose a shareholder out of the value of his stock via "stock split manipulation".

    Forcing Shareholder Buyouts through Reverse Splits

    Your explanation is FUBAR! With 1:100 reverse split, you're "100 shares @ $50" would become "1 share @ $5,000/sh". After 2nd 1:100 reverse split, your 1/100 share would be @ $500,000/share.... same value to you as 100 shares @ $50.... notwithstanding any potential difference between "fair...

    Snoflakes leaving Google due to 'discrimination' from white males

    Poor thing. Had her feelings hurt. Good grief! Seems all the young people have become conditioned/educated to be overly sensitive and pussy-fied. She needs to grow a thicker skin... if she wants to cope with life's vagaries, that is.

    In 2017 Harvard held a segregated graduation

    They've come full circle. 50 years ago they marched and campaigned to end segregation. Today, they demand it. You just can't please some folks.... especially those who have been "given too much" at the expense of others.

    Iran could quit nuclear deal in 'hours' if US imposes new sanctions: Rouhani

    Of course Rouhani wants his deal to be kept. Obama fucked us good on that one!

    The Failure of Venezuela's Socialist Utopia.... The Maduro Diet

    I forgot. Bernie's socialism is the good kind.

    The Failure of Venezuela's Socialist Utopia.... The Maduro Diet

    "... the failure of Venezuela's socialist utopia likely means that civil war is all but inevitable at some point in the future.. "An estimated 75% of Venezuelans lost at least 10 kilos last year because there is not enough food to go around... people here call it 'The Maduro Diet'... "When we...

    Upgrade for you or for me? If I were going to upgrade right now, my first choice would be Dell Precision T5810, with Xeon E5-1620 CPU or better. I'm thinking it won't be long before a slew of them come available off-lease for ~$350-$400. The best price on Dell Outlet right now is ~$700-$750...

    Interactive Brokers Master Card

    Not all that powerful. 8 years old, Precision T3500, Xeon W3570 CPU, 4GB RAM, Win7-32bit. However when I first started trading the ES, it was on a lesser machine with a 56K dial-up modem.

    I showed my ignorance. I thought all debit cards were prepaid. Obviously I've never used a debit card other than the prepaid ones. I've used an ATM only once. (I don't have a cell phone, either. And no, I'm not a Luddite... just a KISS kind of guy.) :)

    Should the term "Democrat Party" be abolished?

    The progressive left WANTS a one-party system... some form of socialistic dictatorship. And they thought they had it nailed down with the presumed Hellary win. I like Bannon's comment, "you don't think they're going to let you take your country back without a fight, do you?" That's what...

    Not being an IB customer, I don't know anything about this... so pardon me if I'm missing something. How is that a "debit" card? Margin loan balance? Interest (though low rate)? Sounds like a credit card.

    Is There A "Do and Don't" List For Option Trading?

    Thanks, but too generic. Not specific to options.

    How do you rank as a trader?

    Years ago when I was doing well in the markets and aspiring to manage money for others, I did some research on "money manager performance". The only criteria were that the results be for 10 years and be independently audited. The result of that search showed less than 1/10th of 1% of...

    Liberals run a poll on who is the better president...didn't go quite as expected.

    Shows the usual, "40% of the populace are brain-dead Democrats... support 100% every bit of spew from the Left". Anyone else who gives a thought to it all recognizes how poor a president was Odumbo.... worst in history! He did a million times more damage to our country than Benedict Arnold.

    Quant funds having a bad year in 2017. Trend-followers may not survive

    The markets have not "fundamentally changed"... it's just their nature. All you have to do to get "knocked on your ass", is to keep doing what you used to do that was successful. (The hedge fund guys can be sheep, too.) The market is all about "adapt or perish". (Yes, right now we have a new...
