Is this chump the latest incantation of volpunter/Zzzz1? Dude, give it up already. Hint, when you keep getting banned it means that no-one wants you around. Not because of your race, we're not prejudiced like you, just because you're a jerk who makes everything you are involved in less. Go spew...

I know your comment was facetious, but...the utilities don't have anything to do with the subject of this article, the independent system operator does (caiso). They control the generation and distribution of power, the utilities are simply users. The ISO is regulated by FERC and neither answers...

All depends on what you're used to I guess. In most of the more desirable parts of the Bay Area $1M won't buy you much more than a shack, so if you've lived there it looks very reasonable. If you haven't lived there or somewhere similarly expensive it looks insane. Pretty much the main reason I...

If you're talking about the United States then you may be interested to know that electricity use is in fact not only growing at historic rates but is actually falling in absolute terms(https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/browser/) A large push toward energy efficiency, purely for cost savings...

How exactly did he make one click to send the order to two different brokerages? What route did his order take on the internet to get to each broker? I'm guessing he had two different screens open, one on each broker, and clicked on each in succession. That isn't "the same time" in the markets...

It's not a bad idea, please let us know how it goes if you decide to pull the trigger. I feel like there are some unknown unknowns in there that I just haven't thought through enough, so I'd be interested in hearing the experience of a retail guy actually doing it.

It does have an option chain, and it doesn't look like their is a 100% implied put call parity disparity (hey it rhymes!) there so it might not be so expensive if you think the company will do something in the near term. I bought puts on them 9 months ago sure that there was no way they'd be...

And 72.9% of statistics are made up! Seriously, it's frustrating to see a quantatively exact number applied to what is really a wild ass guess about how much we don't know about what we don't know.

I should have been more specific, electric utilities are in a death spiral in the face of solar plus storage. I agree consolidation has helped the industry be better run and obviously mitigates the devestating price wars they always engaged in. However I'd submit the LCCs are still eating their...

Except utilities are in a death spiral much like the long distance phone market 20 years ago. Sometimes monopolies (or oligopolies in this case) end up making the players lazy and they end up getting their lunch eaten by disruptors. I also see some parallels to what Fedex and UPS did to USPS...

This won't work as you intend. The option exercise is a taxable event.

I trade listed currency futures and options. Pretty much any broker can do that for you, I happen to use TD Ameritrade and OptionsXpress. If I was to trade OTC forex I would probably go with OANDA, they have a lengthy track record and it is good. I would most certainly NOT go with a shill...

What are you a Columbian drug lord driving around in a convoy of Suburban's full of gun toting bodyguards? If so, you're not flying from a "chokepoint" airport, you're not dealing with airport security, and you're not dealing with "naval crews clueless about maritime law", unless you hired same...

What does the 1 minute accomplish exactly? Does a microwave continue to operate after it's turned off? That would be cool, some kind of machine that generates energy without inputting energy? Better than perpetual motion?

Just a bit on my background, I'm an electrical engineer by undergrad training so have done a bit of work with meters and electromagnetic fields. With that in mind, keep in mind a meter deflection is meaningless without knowing the scale. As your experiments indicated, any time electricity flows...

What readings have you actually seen? If you're seeing anything over a few microwatts/cm2 you probably have a faulty microwave you should throw away. If you're seeing less than a few microwatts/cm2 why does that give you pause? I have to say I'm equal opportunity when it comes to science...

Pretty sure Oanda is still around?

That's not what I said, I said that the legislation specifically referred to in the thread wasn't touching any of the Forex restrictions. Reading comprehension folks.

Capitalism and socialism aren't mutually exclusive!

You signed up a few days ago and have 3 posts here, all about the same forex broker you clearly work for. You have no interest in trading forex, you're pushing your company and it's obvious to everyone so you're wasting your time.
