I can tell you IB will value the put based on it's bid/ask even if intrinsic is far higher, so in their case you're right, the put might not keep them from autoliquidating you if the bid/asks go haywire.

Wow, you managed to weave abortion, Hispanics and Blacks, women in the workplace and some nonsequiter about cancer in that rambling complaint about how everything's going to hell in a handbasket in a thread about cities. What a miserable view of the world! And guess what, your Norman Rockwell...

Actually the majority of the poor were born poor. Since we're talking about poor people here, that's the only relevant population group to this discussion. There isn't a big group of people who used to be rich/middle class, but thanks to their poor mindset and lack of goals are now poor. The...

You greatly overestimate the ability of companies to both work together and difficulty of building a database system that would allow cross-checking to the extent that they could determine that a retail investor with a $10,000 account is or isn't employed by the person he/she said they were...

Does your boss speak English? Because it's pretty unlikely that they're going to have a Russian speaker in their compliance department dedicated to making employment check calls unless they have a dedicated operation in Russia. For what it's worth I own my company and obviously list that as my...

Since PEREGRINEFINANCIAL GROUP, aka PFGBest is on this list it is indeed old. It also demonstrates the limits of such lists!

It's like magic

That's a great quantification of exactly what I was saying, thanks!

See my post earlier in the thread. This is simply not a true statement in many areas. In my experience living in pretty much every region of the U.S. it's only true in the lowest housing cost areas and is very much influenced by past appreciation history.

No side or need to come around if you know what you're doing and why. We all have different utility functions.

Just to clarify, mobile wallet isn't your credit card company. And it's not like I could find out what you, Vanzandt, had purchased. I could sell an ad that was served to people who had previously purchased a computer through wallet, for example. But unless you clicked the ad and provided me...

Using your purchase history to determine if I still want to lend you my money as a credit issuer is a very different thing than selling that purchase history to a third party. As a third party I can buy your credit score but I can't buy a history of your purchases, although I'm willing to revise...

### "...More people than they can support with their agriculture and their lack of fresh water resources." Well, in a single sentence, you just nailed why China -- *never* a country with a strong nautical history, is suddenly interested in building a navy, and expanding its 'sphere of influence'...

You're right, nothing is guaranteed. Treasuries are pretty safe, but who knows, the U.S. Govt might default. Paying off your house, that's safe right...until you find out the buried fuel oil tank you didn't even know was under your front yard has been leaking into the local groundwater for years...

I'm not sure how my simple quote of a fact, with no commentary whatsoever, leads you to believe I "don't mind that your broker loses your 100k (of 500k+)" I am generally against hyperbole and intellectual dishonesty and correct it when I see it. If letting everyone know what the real final...

I think there was a little sarcasm you missed. A very literal bunch here.

'Former securities and commodities customers of MF Global have recovered $8.1 billion — virtually all of their assets — with Tuesday's conclusion of the bankruptcy court liquidation of the failed brokerage formerly headed by Jon Corzine."...

Probably the simultaneous and similar trading in 5 different accounts is what triggered the alert in the first place. He probably would have been better off using one. I am curious how the SEC manages to get warrants on these things, they appear to have obtained access to email accounts and IP...

Curious if there are specific issues with QuickFIX and speed?

Why don't you answer his questions instead of throwing more insults. It sounds like that is the only thing you're capable of.
