    /HG Copper gap up between 2PM and 3PM PST

    Your broker will not let you hold a physically settled future beyond last notice. You will get an e-mail usually a few days ahead warning you and then a final e-mail the day before warning you that the contract will be liquidated on last notice day.

    Peterffy's worst trade ever?

    Actually this is messy. There is not as strong a correlation between taxes and quality of schools as you might think although the high tax areas would have you believe otherwise. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2015/01/15/247-wall-st-states-best-schools/21388041/ Number 5 and...

    What % of Hedge Funds/Institutions actually make money?

    Yes, I do. I have met a large enough sample of people from ET in person that assuming the distribution is normal (and it is), then there is enough evidence to extrapolate that the sample mean approximates the population mean. Also, please review the post again where I stated "most little guys...

    What % of Hedge Funds/Institutions actually make money?

    The reason for the accredited investors does not have to do with the risk of the strategies of the managers but rather the risk of the manager itself. In other words, investors in hedge funds do not get the same protections that retail investors get. Because of this, the gov't wants to make...

    What % of Hedge Funds/Institutions actually make money?

    One other thing to mention here is, unlike many small retail traders on ET, most HNW individuals are not investing in hedge funds to get rich. They already are rich. They are investing to keep their money. Usually for their legacy whoever that is...kids, endowments, trusts, etc. These people...

    George Soros’s $18 Billion Tax Shelter The wealthy have tucked billions into private nonprofits—wher

    This is kind of silly. I doubt many people on here think money that goes to the Koch foundation is going to a good cause and I rarely hear people say nice things about the enormous amount money that goes to churches. Taxes do benefit everyone in some form or another. The war comment is...

    CME Group Announces Launch of Bitcoin Futures

    This is a good read by an economist who echos many of my main concerns: 20/11/17: Bitcoin: an Unknowable Bubble? There is a much-discussed in the crypto-sphere chart making rounds these days, plotting Bitcoin price dynamics against the historical bubbles of the past: The chart is...

    CME Group Announces Launch of Bitcoin Futures

    To be fair. OANDA has offered instant cash transfer for years. Sure, not everyone has an OANDA account but it's very easy. You can move money anywhere in the world with no fees instantly. You do have to do the conversion which is where they make their margin but it is very easy. I still...

    CME Group Announces Launch of Bitcoin Futures

    I do concede there is a value though to those who wish to move large amounts of money across country borders. And even more specifically countries that have capital controls. This is an obvious benefit to those who live in say China, North Korea or even Zimbabwe.

    CME Group Announces Launch of Bitcoin Futures

    I agree with most of your points and my comments were not really directed at you but the more people who are running around pontificating this technology. I agree with you that most are simply in this thing for the same reason they were long ivillage.com in 1999 and globe.com, because those...
