    Inherited IRA - Anyone ever have one?

    I have an Inherited IRA. I took out the required RMD for 2022 and left enough cash for 2023 at the same brokerage firm my Dad had his. Then I took the rest of the money and transferred it to Midland IRA and invested the money in two hedge funds that I also have direct investments in.

    There are 16 option exchanges. Which one. You can try and contact CBOE or NASDAQ and ask them. Their phone numbers are on their websites. They all have trade desks.

    A case for SEC: How criminal Market Makers rob the traders

    Option MMs generally run their own values. That is to them what fair value is. Then each exchange they are a member of has a quoting requirement. When I was on the AMEX, you need to stream a certain percent of the strikes with a minimum size of 10x10 and no more than $5.00 wide. On the active...

    I look forward to your post but please differentiate legal activates that you want to avoid or dislike from illegal ones that breach the rules or ethics of regulators.

    Portfolio Margin - actual Margin always higher than displayed Margin Requirements?

    At Lightspeed, for accounts under $5mm GOOGL would be 15% for day trading but the overnight house requirement would be 18% as we add 20% for overnight house rules.
