Why do these big spikes and plunges occur at market open? We saw one today (7/19/2021) on SPY. A sharp plunge right at the open. For a day-trader, there is no time to react. What causes these extremely sharp movements? - Orders placed out-of-hours? - Market-On-Open (MOO), Limit-On-Open (LOO)...

I got some errors with StreetSmart Edge this morning trying to get out of a position. I called Schwab about it, and was told that the errors were on the Schwab side, and that my account is in good order (I thought that maybe I'd been locked for some reason). They're having some technical issues...

I'm going the other way. Spent decades slinging out code, and wormed my way into Fintech. Now I'm focused on being in a "Profit Center" that is, a group that _earns_revenue_ for the firm (like Data Science). In stark contrast, IT is generally viewed as a "Cost Center," with _no_ROI_. This means...

Finished Article 4 from first link today, "Economic Models: Simulations of Reality." This quote blew my mind: Damn, I thought my models based on the SnP were bad-@$$... looks like I have a lot to learn! I'll have to dig out my old Calc book XD. Also... @longandshort, not sure what you're...

Think about all the money you'll lose having that capital tied up at a measly 4.5% for two months.

Can anyone recommend a good paper/vid/resource which examines the economic impact of the Corona Virus within a Keynesian framework? In the Keynesian world a sharp economic downturn like C19 demands government intervention... but how are we doing here in the USA? How does this compare with...

I like to watch Jonathan Ferro's "The Open" from 9:30-10am ET on BB. He's not bad.

Any advice on how do see what's happening inside the dark pools?

Finished the intro and first article from the first (IMF) link. Excellent! Would you recommend subscribing to any specific IMF publication? Also: 1. What kind of capitalism do we have in Biden's America? 2. Is there any form of capitalism in China? ...from the second article: Given that we...

A friend of a friend has three young children, and wishes to provide for their future. They're looking for an instrument that makes sense. They don't want to do a 509 education fund (which MUST be used for education) because they want to give each kid the option to do something else: own a...

Thank you!!! What tool did you use for this comparison?

Is it possible to insert a linked stock ticker into a post? Say I wanted to insert the symbol for Apple (AAPL) into a post. Is there an easy way to link the ticker to information therof? Perhaps with a delayed quote? They do this on the news sites. See the quote for $VZ from the WSJ story...

I got smacked the other day: long on a basket of about 20 equities from different sectors in the SnP, thinking that sector diversity would protect me from any big moves... but they all got away from me together! Grr... How would you hedge downside risk for SPY? A couple ideas I have: (all...

I think you should consult with an experienced lawyer before you do anything else. imo, sounds like a recipe for trouble. Partnerships are difficult: you have to continually compromise with another person. Franchises are equally so... you're going to have to deal with the franchise, which will...
