    IB - auto liquidate part of positions outside RTH even that would cause an increase in margin?

    What the f*#k does "I cannot issue a stronger statement by formal reasons" mean? I suspect it means something like "We make this shit up on the fly so I won't give you a definite answer so we can screw you later and you won't be able to do f#*k all about it". Seriously, you call this equivocal...

    Its so True...

    So you realize the analog to reading a book to learn about baseball is reading a book to learn about trading. Paper trading is like practice, live trading is like playing a game. You most certainly learn baseball, or any other thing, by practicing rather than exclusively through live games. Of...

    islam no go areas popping up all over Europe

    That's great, you are describing 95% of immigrants and only about 75% of natural born citizens. Note, you aren't included in your own description since you don't believe in the constitution, so when are you planning on moving out?

    Oh but I am! You told me to go fuck myself and that we needed Christian Judeo values in adjacent sentences. Even you can see the incongruity in that, can't you? I pointed out how horrible your Christian Judeo values really are by quoting verbatim verses from your bible, but that's awfully...

    Again why a good, moral, white, red blooded patriotic 'murican like me would much rather have a muslim neighbor than you! First off they don't tell me to go fuck myself, not sure what you call Christian Judeo morals but that probably isn't one of them! And what Christian Judeo morals were those...

    I'm from the U.S., born and raised, served 21 years in the military, white as a sheet, so pretty much a pure patriotic 'murican according to people like you. I'm not threatened at all by people who are different than me, unlike you and your type. I'd much rather have a dozen muslim families as...

    Synthetic long uses more margin than just being long?

    It is completely irrational, I'm with you on that. I'm just telling you the route they arrived at it by calculating SPAN on each leg in isolation and ignoring the reality of the spread. I'll spare everyone here my usual rant on their lack of intellect.

    Synthetic long uses more margin than just being long?

    My experience with futures options with IB is that they calculate every futures option position according to SPAN with no regard to any other position you have, where as any other broker would calculate the two option position together if you enter the position together, which would lead to a...

    The value of education and decline of cognitive employment

    You can make good money now as a skilled tradesman, a good electrician can easily make more than his BA accredited brethren at 23 or 24, especially when you normalize that salaried job to an hourly rate. The price you pay is more cyclical feast or famine environment, more manual labor, and...

    U.S. added 235,000 jobs in February; unemployment rate dropped to 4.7 percent

    In theory adding a bunch of previously uncovered, younger, healthy people to the pool should have reduced cost for someone in your situation. All politics aside (which is nearly impossible with this), I'm a little unsure as to why that didn't happen in practice. You're not the first person I've...

    Interesting, thanks for sharing that data point.

    And I'd also ask if that was for exactly the same insurance or were you really hit by the minimum standards?

    U.S. added 235,000 jobs in February; unemployment rate dropped to 4.7 percent

    Certainly varies depending what part of the business ecosystem you're in, appreciate your point of view on that. Also tongue-in-cheek, but now it's easier for people like me to poach your best employees! Just out of curiosity, what made your premiums go up? Was it an increase in the coverage...

    Just so you know, a non sequitur is something completely unrelated to the topic at hand. When I address exactly what you said, it's actually the opposite of a non sequitur. You stated "Keep 'em out, but allow atrocities like Rotherham. Really brilliant and enlightened folk, you Brits. Glad my...

    U.S. added 235,000 jobs in February; unemployment rate dropped to 4.7 percent

    First I think we all see the world through the lenses of our political beliefs. So if you're a business owner and you launch a product that fails to gain traction in the marketplace, and you don't like Obama, it's naturally much easier to blame "regulation" than your own failure to market, sell...

    Or even Presbyterians in North Carolina vs Southern Baptists in North Carolina. Most 'murican rednecks aren't even familiar with the Shia/Sunni split let alone the Wahhabism sect of Sunni Muslims that represents most of the violent extremists. And of course all Wahhabis don't support violence...

    So you're proven to be a fool with a tenuous grasp on "reality", namely that what you read about is real and what someone actually in London experiences is "spoon fed". First response, lash out with some more racism. You're clearly one of those people who is so dumb they lack the intelligence...

    A poster asked a specific question, calling into question the reality (see how that word is supposed to be used) that millions had been killed in the name of Christianity and asking what that number was based on. I provided some starting details. If any of those are false, happy to have a...
