Makes sense, thanks.

Assuming that I know far less then you're giving me credit for when it comes to fixed income, would you mind expanding on what you mean by more convexity juice? I thought that any indexed products would have very little convexity, or are you just saying it would have more than TIPS?

As I mentioned before, if you've got a network in the finance world already who you know personally and who are familiar with you and your work then you should be tapping them. If you don't, then it's very possible the folks on Twitter giving you feedback don't really know WTF they're talking...

What would the floating rate bond get you that TIPS don't already get you other than protection against a different index?

Wow, newsflash there!:rolleyes:

https://xkcd.com/1570/ The market making functions you describe have already been coded into every market making shop out there for years. Aside from adding the catch phrase "AI" to it I'm not sure you're offering anything that everyone doesn't have their own proprietary setup for already...

Apropos of ? BTW, the manner in which that is sorted, by median versus mean wealth, makes it more a measure of income equality than what one would immediately think it's showing, total wealth divided by total adults. Hence Greece above Germany, even though it's less than half the mean wealth.

I suppose any that allow trading in exchange traded crypto futures would have to allow you to take or make delivery on the future if held to expiration?....my attempt to turn a stupid question into a just slightly less stupid question.

If you have a Treasury in your name it's a matter of days, it belongs to you and you can get it back simply by asking even if they've filed for bankruptcy. If it has to go through SIPC, it all depends on the situation. With a PFGBest type situation it might take a long time, but of course with...

Do you have more than the $500,000 SIPC protected limit at IB? If not, their idiotic policy is providing you absolutely zero, zip, nada in "protection" over what you already have. And if you do have over $500,000 and you're still foolish enough to be with IB you can just buy a Treasury in your...

So 49K Euro is $55K USD plus you have a 10% VAT on residential property, so the reference price for this listing is $60K. To further convert, this is a 46 m^2 apartment which is 500 square feet, 1 bed, 1 bath adjacent to a light industrial/retail area in the back of a mid-size city that is...

And if you're a U.S. citizen you still pay the EXACT SAME short/long term capital gains and dividend tax no matter if you're in the U.S., Lithuania, Latvia, Mongolia, or on the moon. At best. At worst there's no tax treaty with Lithuania and you pay their 15% tax PLUS the regular U.S. tax...

Of all the items you listed only the travel benefits are real. You'll always pay at least as much tax as you would if you were in the U.S. as long as you're a U.S. citizen, no matter the tax treaty or LLC or whatever. In most cases you'll pay more. The only exception to this is actually not...

Probably the very best thing about people like @raVar, all the permutations of @volpri, and pretty much anyone else who uses the word "snowflake" in anything but an ironic manner is how much of a snowflake they actually turn out to be. Apparently tough guy @raVar just wasn't tough enough to even...

I think we agree, neither of us wants a socialist government or even Sanders or Warren. I'm saying that you're going to get it no matter if you want it or not if you don't do something about what is indisputably a growing wealth inequality in the country. The solution isn't telling people on the...

Was that really necessary or add anything of value? I'm actually kind of disappointed in you, you usually post rather insightful and useful stuff.

What he actually does exceedingly well, in fact the only thing he does well in my observation of his organization fairly up close (knew someone very well who worked there), is sell. Relentlessly. This is now many ago, but at the time his organization had 4 people doing any investment research or...

You should really try to flush out your original argument, I think it had merit it just needed to be worked on a bit. Now you're just devolving into Fox talking points developed by folks far less intelligent than you or I, and I think you're better than that. We're in violent agreement that...

I actually read something interesting the other day about how the IPO market is showing almost the opposite of the pre-crash .com days (if you remember way back then!). Then it was my aircraft mechanic who last week was asking me how to open a brokerage account shouting into his phone to get the...

So then your argument isn't one of ongoing efficient use of opportunities and capital? Just efficient use initially? Not quite as compelling, and certainly the "once I have property it belongs to me and mine forever" argument isn't very compelling on an economic or rational basis, even though it...
