The air pollution is obvious and is driving away investment because no westerner (or Asian or even Chinese expat) wants to move their family to a place where smog is so thick it seriously obscures visibility, which is common across China. Water pollution is much less apparent. You need Cuyahoga...

Well read this thread (https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/feasibility-of-landing-a-quant-job-as-a-fresh-master-of-physics-grad.313837/page-5) which shines some light on it. There is a sizable portion of the over 40 crowd who are convinced that millennials are all buttercup snowflakes and...

Maverick74, Do you have a good book/other reference that provides details about that week? I lived through it as a new B-school grad but wasn't in the industry, and at the time there was a lot of incomplete information and I never went back and put together the details afterward. I'd be...

Back when I was a climate change denier (90s) we denied the climate was changing. There was a rather seminal point where a prominent study to show that the climate wasn't warming actually showed that it was and that team had the intellectual honestly to admit their hypothesis was wrong. Some of...

Thank you, and thanks for the well thought out content here.

It sounds like you're calling my military service a lie. How about this. I private message you a picture of my retired military ID in exchange for a simple apology in this thread and an honest effort on your part to do a better job not stereotyping? Deal?

So this is curiosity now, not critique. What is something from the regular media (left leaning to the point of WaPo, not Vox) that in your opinion rises to this level of easily disprovable by simply reading the referenced material (that wasn't retracted)?

I served over 20 years in the military. You clearly served 0. You don't get to call me or anyone else who served a "buttercup" or "snowflake". According to you I'm a "flaming liberal" and therefore un-hirable, and yet served a full military career, thus hirable? You'd be shocked to learn the...

Well at least you're honest about your dishonesty, how's that for a backhanded compliment!

I'm retired military. I served with a bunch of millennials who were anything but "buttercups". I have earned the right to point out that that your stereotyping of all millennials was incorrect. I might also point out that a bunch of said millennials have done their tour and are now working...

You get paid jack shit compared to the market rates a finance attorney could get and armchair quarterbacks constantly call you inept oafs for both prosecuting and not prosecuting cases, and you wonder why the best and brightest don't go work for the SEC?

Just an FYI, people in their 40s Facebook. Millennials only maintain a Facebook account so they can communicate with the over 40s in their life. It helps to actually be able to communicate with a generation if you hope to have them drive value for you. Also, keep in mind that a million plus...

I don't know that they're cheaper, just a heck of a lot easier and more convenient to set up initially. If you have a brick and mortar store processing credit card transactions for physical goods, you should be able to beat Paypal and Square by quite a bit through a traditional card processor...

Just some food for thought...I have hired a number of millennials. I generally have a very deep pool of insanely qualified people with a ton of real world experience far more than my contemporaries and I had at that age. Once hired they dive in with both feet and require far less direction and...

I think you may be missing the fact that when you're big enough you can influence the value of a company with your investment. A great example of this could be found in the old closed end funds, which often traded at significant discount to NAV. There were a couple of funds that realized they...

I'm glad we agree that "Quantifying climatic variability in monsoonal northern China over the last 2200 years and its role in driving Chinese dynastic changes" in no way says that " ‘Global Warming’ Is a Myth" as the article incorrectly asserted. Your failure to answer on that is an answer...

This is a 19 page non peer reviewed paper by a professor emeritus in the business school at Sonoma State. The actual paper reflects that; you've read it before pontificating on it right? Remember, Ted Kaczynski has a PhD, those three letters don't mean you don't question what they say, quite the...

So this is a great opportunity to unequivocally demonstrate why forming your opinion on any science based on something from Breitbart is idiotic. Let's go to the very first actual paper they reference in this article. Presumably this was the best of the 400 alleged scientific papers that "Say...

Depends what you're doing. In many cases IB is cheaper, although not dramatically so at this point. In many cases is isn't. OptionsXpress i$4.95 + $0.65 per contract for options trades. IB is $1.00 per contract if you want to direct route, so anything 14 options contracts for direct route is...

I think if you go with their FIX solution it isn't half-assed at all. The TWS API is a bit cobbled together since you have to have the application running to access the API, but that said it seemed to work well enough when I used it as long as I didn't allow TWS to upgrade. I agree with d08, the...
