You are selling away potential future gains for a premium. Don't believe the "generate income" misnomer.

Mr. Bid-Ask Spread would like to have a word with you.

Interesting article, thanks. Didn't know about this scheme. My first thought is that if you want to see ex-cons get back to giving up on life and using drugs, it sounds like the perfect policy.

Yep. JM even has some good points at times and has no subversive agenda unlike some of the other unsavory characters on ET, but his sheer amount of toxic trolling intended to rile up people outweighs the positives.

All the CFD platforms I've ever traded with pay out dividends (otherwise it would be robbery). What they tend to do instead that is actually disavantegous for long term holds is to not pay out any interest for your cash balance, whilst you're always paying (their inflated) margin rate for...

I can trade in US ETFs on my CFD platform -.- However, banned on my brokers. It sucks, but slowly a lot of European ETFs that replicate the US ones have sprung up.

The reason is not "because there is not enough water to cool it". The actual reason is "half of EDF’s 56 nuclear reactors are offline due to planned maintenance and work to repair corrosion which was delayed by the pandemic"...

True, but other important factors are a) politicans dismantling nuclear power thinking that transient power (wind) can replace the steady power nuclear provides, the free market happily obliging given nuclear being more expensive, b) both politicians and the free market itself setting up...

Was thinking the same. ~$10M should be pocket change to him. Not any sort of high conviction trade for him as a discretionary investor in the first place.

:D They're going to have to take out a lot more 'islamist terrorist cells' in Crimea the coming weeks. TBH could actually be extraterrestrials destroying Russian bases there.

True, impressive nonetheless for the sheer amount of balls in it (but you know, 1 sample...)

The world's richest nation defunding itself one step at a time.

Allowing myself some speculation as well, Occam's razor would suggest the above is all there is to it. He can only get away from wrongdoing so many times, it's bound to backfire at some point. Although I am willing to countenance it's in the realm of "grabbed some papers", then turned out to be...

+1 since it mirrors my experience. I didn't linger very long in that swamp, but what I found is those signals/systems/bots/whatever are either random or try to fool a potential customer with some martingale or grid trade. I.e. achieving a high win rate but having negative expectancy and...

It's good risk management I guess. Had he kept everything, the fact the shares might fall 90% further would have been a tremendous risk to him, but he will have materially reduced the impact of by that risk by having offloaded a comparatively smaller portion of his original shares at what might...

You're absolutely right. For the record I didn't watch the parts after the CEO speaking as per advice of OP (and since I assumed exactly it was going to push a certain narrative). My overarching point the personal experiences of people will make them believe weird things. That goes for my...

As d08 points out, the model seem like it will work for German giant Delivery Hero. They bought the Swedish Onlinepizza/Foodora. The thing about these companies that they are natural monopolies with decent moats once they grow large enough. Anecdotally I ordered from Foodora today (as most days)...

I imagine this is very dependent on the country you're in and the culture of the women in that country. For instance, my view for some time was that women can't really work as well as programmers due to their attitudes spending time around screens - but that was based on my experience in my...

Because risk I assume. This would effectively allow people to lever up a lot higher that way, or even recursively - enabling them to short more shares with the (hypthetical, since it is what we are discussing) credit received from shorting shares. Not a recipe for financial stability where stock...

Haven't seen his posts in a long time... because he instantly qualified for my ignore list (or he ignored me, cannot remember). :D Also seems appropriate given info collected by OP. ET has a fair number of nutjobs, but then again that is part of what makes this site fun.
