I also have an account at 5/3, and I have had some minor problems recently since they implemented 2FA and now requiring a phone call with a code to log in. But I was ultimately able to get logged in without having to deal with customer service. My overall experience with their call centers has...

I don't actually I don't actually think VIX is going to down below 20 or so... I just don't want to go up very much too fast LOL

Okay, well, now I feel a little better LOL I have a serious short position in VIX right now

So you think the VIX is going to go up by 50% within a week or two?

And how high do you think it will go? :rolleyes:

When do you think that's going to happen? o_O

I think it will be within +/- 8.54%

SPX options would most definitely be the best for your situation. I cannot go into details about "why." It has tax implications.

Why don't you want to manually calculate how many shares to trade?

But what was FTX? Was it an exchange, as that term is used by the SEC? If not, was it an exchange by some other widely accepted definition of that term? If so, what is that definition? And what is the source of that definition? Or was FTX something else?

I certainly agree that TDAmeritrade is safer than an unregulated, or poorly regulated, offshore operation like FTX. However... Assets in a brokerage account are not insured by FDIC. They are insured by SIPC. Yes, this is somewhat technical distinction. I recognize that the type of insurance is...

I'll have to give this some thought, but off the cuff, I can think of at least one reason someone would short a stock or ETF instead of using options. The options may not have enough volume. Bid/ask spreads may be far too wide. Even if you can establish the position at the price you want, you...

I did not buy any of these bonds LOL They now have a junk rating of Ba1 The new rating is dated Nov. 16, which was actually one day before I posted my original message. But when I looked at them on Nov. 17, they had a rating of Baa3. Apparently, it took a couple days for the new rating to get...

Anyone else having trouble this morning?

No, it did not. But I said nothing about the dot com bubble. I don't think that's the same kind of event as the examples of systemic failure that I cited. The dot com bubble did not cause the failure of large financial institutions. No, the internet did not disappear when the bubble burst. The...

Okay, so you're arguing that... "The system is working." The recent massive failures are a feature, not a bug. Would you say the same thing about the crises that enveloped our banking system in 1930 and 2008? Or the S&L crisis of 1986 to 1995?

She looks like she's about 15 years old

Why can't you just answer the questions I have asked?

If you can't answer those basic questions, then it sounds like you haven't watched it either. If you watched the video and it doesn't name names, then it's pure horseshit. The headline says: CEO of FTX is Daughter of SEC Head's Former Boss So enlighten me. Explain this to me. What are the...
