    The Volcker rule is about to be changed

    Do you think the PE side will come back? I have always been a little jealous at how GS and McKinsey and the other top tier i-bank and consulting firms can get away with pretty blatant potential conflicts of interest with their clients when the rest of us have to go to great lengths to divest...

    What are the chances and possible timing of a China crackdown in HK and how can we trade it?

    Absolutely you would take pause. And you absolutely wouldn't blindly follow orders to kill anyone, even @nooby_mcnoob moron that he is. But these guys getting hard-ons over taking their bump stocks to Washington to take down the 'gubmnt are talking about overthrowing our government with...

    What are the chances and possible timing of a China crackdown in HK and how can we trade it?

    Just to be clear, you're asserting that our democracy is safe because jackasses like you with pistols and rifles and bump stocks will stop anything you decide is bad, and if not you'll win because you'll start an insurgency so you'll all get to live like they do in Afghanistan and Iraq? Again...

    What are the chances and possible timing of a China crackdown in HK and how can we trade it?

    Again if you think your little group of merry men to be capable of invoking anything other than amusement mixed with contempt on my part, or the part of anyone who matters, you flatter yourself. You're apparently not only ignorant on everything we're discussing but revel in that ignorance. Put...

    What are the chances and possible timing of a China crackdown in HK and how can we trade it?

    Like I said, if a fraction of one percent of our military can keep the small dick brigade at bay with one hand tied behind their back, they're not figuring in the calculus of how the country is run. You all are living in la la land to think that literally anyone makes decisions based on any...

    What are the chances and possible timing of a China crackdown in HK and how can we trade it?

    Spoken like someone who has no fucking clue what a squad of Marines with a SAW could do to any number of survivalist gun freaks, let alone a full infantry division with close air support. I've got news for you my friend, it's not a bunch of rambo wannabies compensating for their small dicks with...

    The Volcker rule is about to be changed

    So basically that idea that they were on their way isn't accurate? If that's the case, do you think they'll all spin them back up now?

    WSJ: Trump wants to buy Greenland

    Are you talking about the same U.S.Virgin Islands where Trump said he met with their President? How did that turn out anyway? $500M for a territory that is subsidized to the tune of about a billion dollars a year now...only to have the 4th highest murder rate in the world if it was a county...

    WSJ: Trump wants to buy Greenland

    That's interesting to hear. I wish when it comes to Andrew Yang, but unfortunately I think his chances of even having an impact on the party, let alone getting the nomination, are vanishingly small. Hope I'm wrong on that though!

    The Volcker rule is about to be changed

    Weren't many of them on their way to at least paring back prop trading anyway because of the variance of the returns? Not sure if that's accurate or not, I've heard it a number of times but never dug deep enough to establish the veracity of it.

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

    What's a gallon of gas cost today versus 2008,y 2012, 2013? The basket of goods and methodology used to measure the CPI are spelled out in excruciating detail at https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/pdf/cpihom.pdf and yes, the cost of the three items you cherry picked are there, covering pages and pages...

    First good experience with power outage in 16 years full time trading

    Just to clarify a bit, with many cards you can just keep the laptop closed up, using external monitors and keyboard with a dock.

    Why are big banks cutting trading jobs in the current very long bull market?

    So either cross collateralization doesn't mean what you think it means or you're stretching the term "engaged in" to ridiculous lengths....as in your logic would say that most Americans are "engaged in" profiting from tobacco because Altria and Philip Morris are part of the S&P500 and most...

    First good experience with power outage in 16 years full time trading

    I can see that certain setups might not work, although nothing says you need to use the laptop's monitor.

    Why are big banks cutting trading jobs in the current very long bull market?

    And you clearly don't grasp the difference between a deposit bank, an investment bank, and a hedge fund, since you just conflated all 3 in the space of 3 sentences! I do accuse you of stupidity for pontificating on something you clearly know fuck-all about!

    WSJ: Trump wants to buy Greenland

    Is that saying that you think she's the person who could win, or that if she's nominated they'll surely lose? I think her polling is pretty far back at the moment. I actually think Tammy Duckworth is the Democrat who would have the best chance of winning, but unfortunately she's not running...

    WSJ: Trump wants to buy Greenland

    Apropos of absolutely nothing? What you're doing here is very interesting from a psychology standpoint. It's easy to feel comfortable with what you believe and with your dislike for those you disagree with if they're clearly morons. Unfortunately if they're actually not, you have to make up...

    effect of wash sale rule across multiple accounts

    No, that's not correct. We've said if you go flat (no long or short positions) 30 days before the end of the year, not at the end of the year, you can ignore the rule. That distinction is vital.

    WSJ: Trump wants to buy Greenland

    I'd certainly be willing to trade Trump for it! I mean the guy's priceless, just ask him. Hell, I'd be happy to throw in a rum factory with it, but I feel like the Danes are more the vodka type?
