    FTX collapse was not a liquidity crisis

    I'm not watching that garbarge. What are the names of Caroline Ellison's parents? And what is the name of the SEC head? And what is the name of that person's former boss? If you really believe this shit, you should be able to answer a few simple questions.

    Ummm... yeah, right. And Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is George Soros' niece. How 'bout some names, Dude? What are the names of Caroline Ellison's parents? And how is the SEC Head? And who was that person's former boss? How 'bout some verifiable--or falsifiable--information? This is pure...

    That report is from Ben Swann. According to Wikipedia, Ben Swann reported on conspiracy theories about the 2012 Aurora, Colorado shooting, questioned the truth of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, presented 9/11 conspiracy theories, and the false claims of a cover-up by the CDC of...

    Bonds from RMR Group

    Okay, so the ratings are not recent, and may have little or no relevance. But that doesn't explain the wide difference in price between the bonds. The two bonds are identical except for the interest rate and maturity. Yes, those two variables are what drive bond prices. But the interest rates...

    Bonds from RMR Group

    I'm looking at a couple of bonds issued by RMR Group. The first has a maturity of 05/15/24 and a coupon of 4.25%. Recent asking price was 95.23. Schwab's standard calculator shows a YTM of 9.786%. The other one has a maturity of 02/01/25 and a coupon of 4.50%. Recent asking price was 86.041...

    Jim Cramer weighs in on FTX fallout: This is your chance to get out of crypto

    That guy doesn't make any eye contact with the camera... spends all his time looking at the screen of his laptop computer. Now I know why I stopped watching TV news many years ago.

    I've never cracked an egg that had an embryo in it. I'm sure it would not be pleasant. But most store bought eggs are produced at factory farms where the chickens live in utterly horrific, inhumane conditions. If you ever visit one of those farms, you'll probably never eat any eggs ever again.

    Inaccurate closing prices for VIX options at Schwab

    Okay, well, I think we are sort of saying the same thing, that those numbers are not valid quotes. But I think it's a little ridiculous that Schwab is using those numbers to calculate the account value. It put an artificially low value on the account. It did not trigger a margin call, but I'm...

    Noob with Qs

    What country are you trying to open an account in? There are a lot scams out there in Forex. I can't recommend a specific broker unless I know what country you are in. But you need make sure you are opening an account with a legitimate broker, and trading on a regulated exchange.

    Inaccurate closing prices for VIX options at Schwab

    The screenshot was taken around the time that I posted the message, i.e., about 9:30 PM eastern time in the USA. I recognize that this was probably an issue caused not by Schwab, but rather by their data vendor, i.e., whoever is providing their live quotes. But the data must be wrong. It does...

    Inaccurate closing prices for VIX options at Schwab

    This is some f**ked up shit Asking price for almost all the options is $10.00. Bid is zero. WTF Schwab uses the midpoint between bid and ask to determine the account value at the end of the day. LOL We are short a bunch of VIX calls, across multiple expiration dates. All well OTM. The...

    There are a couple of Asian restaurants here in southwest Michigan--one Thai and one Chinese--where there is an alternative "authentic" menu that is never given to American customers unless they explicitly ask for it. Real Chinese food, that they eat in China. Stuff that many Americans either...

    That I believe LOL without having researched it. I know that most of what we call Chinese food in the USA is extremely different from what people actually eat in China.
