Yeah it was there. I read it. LOL. I can't copy and paste from the document unfortunately. But it is mentioned.

As someone who use to study this stuff, data is very messy and in dealing with anything in the US, even more so. The studies you cited said that upward mobility is about the same in the US as most of Europe when we start at their working life not at birth. So yes, once one is of the working...

Thin mints.

Still awaiting the first trade. Free box of girl scout cookies to the first man or woman who steps up to buy this.

Four days of trading so far...and not a single share has crossed the tape.

Peterfy gave another interview on it today. So basically they will not allow shorting of the futures and the margin will be 50% for the longs. Bottom line, this thing is DOA at least for now. If brokers aren't going to allow shorting there won't be a two sided market. And since many other...

The contract months. H is March and J is april. Google the "widowmaker" and you'll see some results. :)

Think of the HJ spread like an option. It's convex in nature. As the vol bleeds out this year that spread has been shrinking. That spread was trading over 65 cents last summer. The 2019 HJ spread is actually much tighter then the 2018 was at the same time. But the market has repriced it...

Update: TD Ameritrade will NOT be offering BTC access on launch. They will be monitoring liquidity and "when the time is right" they will offer access.

I don't believe his backtest. Definitely overfitted. Having over 40 stocks is going to replicate an index return. That's too large a sample, especially if it's equally weighted. It will basically track the index. No way he can produce a sharpe > SPX with 40 tickers.

Baron are you in Orlando or the Winter Park area?

You are still not getting it. Most rich people don't have income. Why is this so hard for you to understand? As you pointed out correctly, they have assets, trusts, etc but they report very little income. Not because they are evil, but because it's not even them doing it, it's their private...

Guys, this is exactly what happens in our gov't. You start going off topic and debating about trivial issues while ignoring the real meat of the problem. As I said before, there seems to be a few core complaints I keep hearing over and over. One, the middle class are getting shafted. Two...

I maybe in the minority here but I think taxes are too low across the board. Half of America pays no federal income taxes. And of those that do, 90% of them have an avg effective tax rate in the single digits. I'm not saying we would be paying the 40% France or Canada does, but somewhere in...

That's actually not in the senate bill. But why let the facts get in the way of a good thread. This is ET after all.

Well....I follow his comments on trading closely both on LinkedIn and Twitter and he was telling his readers to buy all the puts they can afford because of a major announcement he was making that would crash the markets. This was not a one time post, he posted it about 50 times over the course...

Sharp as ever? He is supporting Taylor Swift to be President of the US and claims he has agreed to terms to take AAPL private. The guy has completely lost his mind and I actually like the guy. His mental illness is obvious and he needs help. Mentally sharp is the last thing I would describe...

I have no idea if he is alive or dead because someone else controls his twitter account. I just never heard he died.
