    If you do not plan on using margin, why apply for a PMA? Just use a REG-T Margin account.

    Portfolio Margin help

    We do not give a test. I think only APEX does that. We require higher financial, risk tolerance and years of experience with all option levels. Anyone with years of experience with all option levels would find those questions manageable.

    Portfolio Margin help

    Maybe, just maybe, if you can't pass this test on your own, a Risk based margin account with higher leverage is not right for you?

    The Impact of Unions

    I know you are a business owner, so it is easy to blame the Union, but it looks to be like YELL has been poorly managed and over leveraged for years. I would not blame the Union on this one.

    Inflation Avoidance?

    Doubled? Not for me. My food bills are up about 10% at ShopRite since before COVID. I see the biggest increase at restaurants, , but that is because they mark up costs at 3x and now have to pay a higher wage to kitchen workers that were way under paid before.

    Inflation Avoidance?

    US Inflation Rate is at 4.05%. This is not that HIGH IMO! I'm happy to have the opportunity to buy IBONDS, T-BILLs and make a decent return in a savings account. They are all equal to or greater than the current inflation rate. And what I earn on these are much greater than the increase in my bills.

    The delay of an algo is not the same as a limit or market order as the algo has instructions that might not provide a fast execution. Try timing a simple buy on the ask.
