Howdy Peeps, Which cars and/or auto brands are friendliest to technical users? We hear all the time, "The shade-tree mechanic is dead," because "Everything is computerized nowadays." The inference here is that you're too stupid to understand how these cars work; it's quantum physics--you need...

Grow a pair and go all-in on a Brexit play. Every penny into Gold futures!

If you are going to follow Jesus, you should expect crucifixion.

The Market is trying to tell you something... but you are not listening.

You can sign up on Treasury Direct and buy without fees. Your bond can then be transferred into IB... ...for a feeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Anyone remember the AT&T Universal card? Triggered an exodus of financial customers out to other telcom service providers. For those of you too young to remember when the Bell system was broken up, AT&T used to be on par with the IRS, and perhaps Jesus Himself.

2.172% ??? :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: 2.172% high effing yield on on 5-year T Notes???? :vomit: This is going to be bad. It's like someone dropped a brick into the middle of the yield curve. I can almost hear the equity squawk boxes screeching...

So how do I monitor how the auction is going?

Gm Peeps, How can I watch US Treasury auctions? Example: Today (3/27) the US Treasury will auction 41B in 5-year notes; tomorrow, 32B in 7-year. https://www.treasurydirect.gov/instit/instit.htm?upcoming How are the sales of these securities normally monitored? How can watch how these are...

Sell something short, for the experience. It’s nice to have this tool in your bag when you see something about to take a nose dive. Maybe short 100 shares of Ford, currently trading at $8.69, to get a feel for it. You might lose $50, but this is a small price to pay for the lesson you’ll give...

It is a little worse than that... bad enough to put LIBOR out of business. A better analogy would be the vendor “accidentally” double-charging your credit card.

Exactly. The conservative will simply move money from higher-risk (equities) into lower-risk fixed income (bonds); the risk-takers will sell short, buy puts, sell calls, buy gold.... generally take bearish positions. That's what the bond yield/curve is telling us: money is flowing into US...

The thing that's freaking everyone out is the inverted yield curve for US Treasury bonds, combined with a soaring demand for fixed income. In a nutshell, nearer-term bonds are expected to pay less than longer-term, because there is more risk when lending for a longer period of time. E.g., If I...

...yield curve inversion, Gold on the upswing... eek!

The Fed is dovish, bond market is roaring, the Bund is paying negative rates, T-bonds yields are plummeting, WARNING SIGNALS are flashing like the check engine light in my old 1977 Camaro... and AAPL’s event today was a *yawn*. Are we all jumping ship?

This is not late 20th century Linux that needed an 80-hour sprint and a handful of 2-pin jumpers to get it working. Linux, notably Ubuntu, is remarkably easy to install and use. Try it (seriously, try it).

Fuck I got out and missed the upspike. WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY didn’t I trust my analysis. :mad: :banghead: :(

You know what the EU needs? LOANS. The UK needs to loan them money, and set unattainable interest/repayment rates. When the EU inevitably defaults on said loans, the UK will have a rightful and moral claim to all EU countries. They will all come under the crown, and be one big happy family...

What is the connection to your broker?
