The very real probability that Bitmex gets hacked or goes under is your risk here. Which of the leading bitcoin exchanges from 5 years ago are still around? Can you imagine if stock exchanges and clearing firms had that kind of failure rate?

Doesn't it bother anyone that a MM and Isn't record keeping and regulatory load less on OTCBB stocks? That's kind of the whole point, at least from the perspective of a company that sells their shares on OTCBB.

The sad thing is he spent $2.9M on himself over 5 1\2 years. That's about $500K a year, around what he could have somewhat honestly been making if he'd stayed at MS.

That's an absurd statement! Pretty much every person who has perpetrated a big fraud, from the smartest guys in the room at Enron to Bernie Madoff had a lot to lose. Hell Russell Wasendorf at PFGBest attempted suicide when uncovered, not much more to lose than that is there? You probably hadn't...

Of course all funds covered by SIPC were eventually returned, didn't happen the next day though. And SIPC only covers cash and stocks, not futures or forex. And some actions like participating in IBs short lending program as a stock lender also cause you to lose some or all of your SIPC...

Maybe not MFG but a PFGBest scenario is possible with any broker. Given that Peterffy has a history of being economical with the truth, as they say, and a number of us have had their staff flat out lie to us, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a PFGBest scenario come out of IB.

For Pete's sake, here it is again with "IB knows best, who are you to question their Almighty wisdom as a mere customer" bullshit. Seriously, it's the customer who is a slow learner when IB arbitrarily implements a rule that makes little sense that they themselves can't rationally explain? WTF?

Thanks, although that one is really reaching! I always thought it was showing he suffered human emotions, if I could justify it as meaning anything.

First off I'm glad to see you abandon the "sophistry" of your argument that discriminating against an entire class of people over the definition of the word "marriage" is at all justifiable. Good to see you've grown just a little. Speaking of words, let's talk about what seems to be your...

From their latest quarterly order routing report ( https://www.interactivebrokers.com/download/1Q_2017_IB_ORDER_ROUTING_REPORT.pdf): "Payment for Orders: IB receives payments for certain orders in varying amounts from U.S. options exchanges, specialists and/or market makers pursuant to the...

Let's be crystal clear here. I never used the word "vote" once, that's your word as Spicy would say. I used the word legislate, as in "don't legislate based on religion". You responded to my comment on legislating to say "why are you saying I can't vote based on my religion". I never said that...

No worries, I was just giving you a hard time. Your underlying point is a good one, btw.

Careful there! I'm an introvert, which means I get energy to recharge when alone and drain down when I'm interacting with others, as opposed to extroverts who get their energy interacting from others and drain down when alone. I'm also pretty damn forceful in a group dynamic, I think the last...

So first off we have this separation of church and state thing here in the United States. You get to vote for whoever you want. The person you vote for doesn't get to legislate based on their religion. Note how I said legislate and you said vote, that's an important distinction and if you think...

From the article "Then, place your fingers next to your earlobes on your cheekbones. Gently massage, moving your fingers in a clockwise direction. Slowly and gently massage for about one minute." Whatever you do don't move your fingers in a counterclockwise direction! That will raise blood...

All true points, you remind me why I love working at a small company!

I hear that a lot, and would buy it if there was any evidence for it. I happen to know a few folks whose brains are wired for this kind of thing and can do a great job of going through the approach and solving a novel version of such a problem. At least 2 of them would be the absolute last...

I share your frustration in the dependence on statistics in health, I'd much rather a scientist found a mechanism of action at the cellular level and then backed it with a population study. That said, a population study is better than anecdotal evidence which is the next best thing we have...

I agree, I call them "stump the chump". If there was any empirical research showing any any predictive power at all between the ability to answer these questions and future job performance I'd love to see it. If you screen for people who are good at answering stump the chump questions you'll end...

I would be interested in the same thing, although I happen to be a man. If the results were the same it would imply that it's the exercise itself providing the benefit rather than the muscle mass that is the result of the exercise, given that women on average would gain relatively less muscle...
