Democrats embrace new ideas. Replubicans embrace old ideas. The key word in MAGA is “again.” (Harkening to the past of old ideas) In our current economy, ideas create wealth, not hard work, not capital, and not preferential access. The division between democrats and republicans isn’t...

I think the oil supply chain is so vast that there are so many levers to play from pipelines, to drilling, to transportation, to the various types of the commodity itself. In fx, that “supply chain” is all the other competing economies.

My colleagues spoke of those being the days. Wide spreads, limited market access, and limited computing power gave market makers and banks an edge. The ISE changed that. Then came computing power to the masses and portfolio margin for 100k retail pikers. One bonus day (shortly before my...

Or going to the same hockey game as the client whom you just blew up. Every time that guy goes to the stadium he will look in the stands wondering where that fucker is.

Like their president, they can only understand pictures and memes.

No the fill doesn't have to match some account up front. It is exactly like trading from a master account and then transferring the fills on some formula to the sub accounts.

So the RIA will buy 1000 contracts for an average price of 1.523. He has five clients and prorates the quantities across the accounts but they all get the same price. It’s still your account and you own the position but it makes the executions fair. Otherwise he can give the most favorable...
