    Dividend Rolls or Swap Contracts on Dividends

    I thought most of these things were for European countries. An Italian may not pay withholding tax on a Nordic stock so they will swap with a Norwegian to save them the dividend tax.

    Suggestions on an invention wanted

    I would think so. A patent is a tricky thing. It protects you legally but it also means you have to share the design publicly. Enforcing a patent is expensive. So if you don’t want to figure out the distribution, etc I think you will not earn much on the idea.

    Suggestions on an invention wanted

    You are underselling your contribution at 5percent. Do some research on how to build a business around your idea. You don’t need a large company to manufacture and sell it. But that is for you to figure out how to best monetize your idea (and if it monetizable)

    Suggestions on an invention wanted

    I do business for a few inventors (I manufacture the product and they figure out how to sell and how distribute it). None of them have made A LOT of money doing it. Some have made a living. Not one of our "inventors" have successfully sold a concept to a large corporation, nor has any inventor...

    Making $100mm from trading with no LPs/outside capital

    The industry matured by 2006 and to be a player you have to have a pedigree plus some significant management experience. One of my wife’s friends started a 200mm hedge fund in the old country. But he has a 15 year track record at a major global fund. He’s managing 1/10th of what he was managing...

    Big victory for dems on the border issue today

    Actually I think he agreed because he was getting blame for the shutdown and if a plane crashed because of government workers silently striking, his presidency would have been over. If the dems were getting blamed for the shutdown he would have taken it to a mass casualty event. We are all pawns...

    Big victory for dems on the border issue today

    Umm... yeah. All he had to do was agree to sign the bill that had bipartisan support. Instead he risked the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people to appease some right wing radio personalities.

    Maduro Squeezed as Trump Recognizes Guaido and Protests Expand

    Totally. The US government is shut down and that would distract the base from the fact that their POTUS is destroying their livelihoods.

    If a 30% move was priced into LULU the ATM vol would have been much higher. How much have the spreads cost you since the TIF debacle? (btw - TIF won't be the last time you burn 2 months of pnl quickly).

    I agree with him. How many times have wings paid off since then? If you think the vol is rich, then you by definition believe the tail event is overpriced. What's the point of buying the wings then? If you think the vol is cheap, then it's totally dumb to sell the wings. It only makes sense...

    What is a man? A response to Gillette

    Nothing inconsistent in this ad and the gillete ad. But i take one exception. They cite that 70percent of all homicide victims are men, and the narrator calls men “protectors” as if they are killed defending their families. How do you reconcile that with that statement with the fact that cons...
