    What the hell is going on in the bond market?

    You buy the bond at a discount to face value and get face value when it matures. The rate is determined by the discount to face and the time to maturity.

    SEC restriction against trading foreign options?

    So in general I completely agree with you and hate this specific restriction. On a practical level, the theory is that if they don't have the ability to add a security to their surveillance/monitoring system then the whole system effectively becomes worthless. If folks can effectively trade the...

    Anyone living (lived) in a pareado or adosado in spain?

    Curious if you've gone the lawyer route and they're able to cut through the kafkaesque situation you're describing? I'm considering a similar route in Portugal and while it looks like something any reasonably intelligent person could navigate on their own, I've heard more than one story similar...

    What is a beta?

    Given that you're trolling a conversation I'm participating in, telling you to go elsewhere with your infantile fetishes is my fucking business!

    cash settled options

    Are they still handling it now that NASDAQ is listing it? I guess I'm not as up as I should be on who's who in the zoo with various mergers.

    What is a beta?

    How about you head on back there tough guy, you can be king of the pack of wild dogs if that's what you get off on.

    cash settled options

    That's what I see as well, just curious how they get there and how I could get some random ones added where I want them that aren't there.

    What is a beta?

    To expand on that it's important to emphasize the "to the market" part of the accurate description @10_bagger provided. Every stock has two types of volatility, it's idiosyncratic volatility due to factors specific to that specific company, and market based volatility based on the company's...

    cash settled options

    Also the NASDAQ-100 is now traded on NASDAQ (https://business.nasdaq.com/media/NDXPfactsheet_tcm5044-54189.pdf). For the OP, be careful with the AM-settled options. It's not an intuitive process and if you're not familiar with it then it can bite you in the ass. For Robert, I noticed that...

    The Big Potus Short

    Like I said, that projection thing is just really giving you away. If only you understood what it was without having to Wikipedia it...... It appears that "figuratively" is too big a word for you as well. Probably a good policy to refrain from commenting on a sentence where you don't actually...

    The Big Potus Short

    If that's what gets you off then you've clearly got issues, but of course that much is obvious. Sadly I'm at the point in life where I've got to start thinking about getting a place where my mom can (hopefully figuratively) live in the basement. Since I left for a service academy many years...

    Is Zerohedge retarded?

    They also successfully called 27 of the 2 bitcoin rallys.

    The Big Potus Short

    Wow, what an intelligent and well-thought out comeback....oh, I forgot that being intelligent and thinking things through are detriments to you. So I guess, perfect comeback for someone of your intellect!

    The Big Potus Short

    Crazy isn't it, how professional pilots fly airplanes and professional electrical engineers design the computer and internet you're using and professional surgeons do surgery and well we could go on and on all day about them damn learned folks who don't know nuthing but think they're so smart...

    The Big Potus Short

    Given that the @lylec305's of the world don't know even know those concepts exist, let alone understand them, and the author is clearly aiming at them, it makes sense in its own kind of senseless way.

    Thoughts on unusual options activity?

    Didn't realize they were so late to the party. I imagine from a corporate governance standpoint no board would be happy with the level of commitment that displayed, but if they didn't have internal controls set up to stop and catch that kind of thing then they were probably some type of tame...

    Capital gains tax incoming by Executive order

    National debt only concerns Republicans when a Democrat is in office, everyone know that!

    any tax simulation software?

    It does, actually. If you can't figure out something as basic as TurboTax then I'd humbly suggest that a more powerful tax prep software tool isn't going to help you. And if you need a dedicated line item to account for something that you just subtract from your income....maybe you should think...

    Thoughts on unusual options activity?

    Given that insiders have to disclose their trading in options on their company stock I can't imagine the guy was in that CEO job much longer!

    Still begging for a huge rate cut and QE! Simply amazing.

    Assuming you meant Stanford, they don't publish how many pay zero tuition but they do publish that about half receive need based aid which totals $162M a year (https://news.stanford.edu/2018/12/04/stanford-expands-financial-aid-middle-income-families-trustees-set-2019-20-tuition/) If you do some...
