    Just say NO to mail-in voting

    Closing the borders was genius... the man is clairvoyant. How many lives did he save with just this one decision--prevented the spread not just from January 2020, but from his 2016 campaign!

    idk.. will this will drag on and on until the next flu season--and it's back to quarantine? Bill Gates is calling for another three months of lockdown.

    Just say NO to mail-in voting

    Maybe best just to cancel it, and permit President Trump to lead through this crisis to 2024. The last thing we need with all this CV trouble is a leadership change.

    Losing my edge

    Call it "noise," "whipsaw," "alphabet soup," "volatility," or whatever... a rose by any other name is still a rose... it's price movement. Good that we understand what this market is... that's half the battle. Now, develop a trading scheme that profits from it. I have an algo called...

    The curve flattens, the market goes up,, for now........

    It's easy to forget that this market heavily supported by trillions in Quantitative Easing, 10M people have been forced out of work, and the whole world has some form of "shelter-in-place" policy in force. The gold of all financial policies right now, be it monetary, fiscal, economic, or...

    Can one choose to not settle an ITM option at expiry?

    I'm the OP, and no, it's not safe to assume. There are many different tax systems, and use of the dollar sign does not imply the US tax system. The question is not about tax anyway, it's about allowing ITM contracts to expire.

    Problem is not TWS self, rather the IBKR servers...

    Peeps are you running on decent rigs? When was the last time you reinstalled? What version are you running? TWS runs good for me. Other than an occasional lag in retrieving data, it's quick and responsive.

    how to hedge a postion

    US Gov't T-Bond ETF which offers exposure to treasuries without messing with CUSIPs and individual issues--which can be a pain. When the sh*t hits the fan, like now, the Big Boys will typically roll money out of the market (SPY companies) into Treasury Bonds, because they're afraid of blowing...

    Market open is zany under normal circumstances; now it's utter insanity.
