My perception is we are on the knife’s edge economically. A perfect storm of demographics, civil unrest, and geopolitical issues. Fortunately, the Fed knows this. No way to avoid pain, but we may have a choice on what kind of pain it will be. At least for a while. Central Banks around the...

Let’s compare each of the four candidate’s attributes, relative to Kamala: 1. Intelligence - Kamala is decisively the most intelligent candidate. 2. Problem Solving Ability - Here, too Kamala leads the pack, with Trump coming in second. 3. Ability to get things done - Kamala is behind...

I also heard that Trump fancied dipping brown babies in oil, lighting them up, and letting them roll down hills in California.

Slartibartfast. You have posted about times this week, or at the annual rate of 10,000. I have skimmed through your posts in 2008, when you first joined ET. Basically it is the same garbage back then as it is now. You appear to be a one level thinker who seems to believe they are the shit...

While looking up a quote of MLK for a post, I came across a list of over a hundred of his great quotes. Each day I’m logged in to ET, I will post a new MLK quote, particularly if it has something to do with current events. I see MLK as a modern day saint whose wisdom is sorely needed today...

I assume there would be a capital efficiency aspect with buying “Garbage wings” for lower margin requirements. Additionally, Destriero has preached to others, including myself, on managing risk. It’s a bummer when a overnight event causes a 6 sd move against your naked exposure. In fact...

You must have seen the guy on the table next to me just before you wrote this post. The way this older guy was listening to FOX news on his conputer reminded me of someone desperately in need of a fix. A nice soothing fix so he can feel right in the world again. More disturbingly was an...

Only trading intraday, so no overnight positions, except perhaps an option spread. Even there, the option spread trades have not been lasting a full 24 hour trading day.

Yes, it has been going on for weeks. I don’t like it because in the metagame, they are hurting Trump. At least you wouldn’t do anything to hurt Trump, would you? Grin.

I have been wrong so much lately, I think I need a better coin! Been making money, though. Fortunately, I don’t take my opinion on market direction too seriously anymore.

File charges on them and BLM for any serious laws broken. Document the lack of media coverage on social media. Think these guys were looking for a “little protection” money?

We ought to keep track of and be supportive Daniel Thompson. He sounds like a stand up guy. Daniel stated the reason why he quit as reporter is his boss insisted on running a senational headline that although was factual, did not represent the nature of what was going on in the peaceful...

Hate to see it. Coming from a broken home and raised by a substance abusing single parent who teaches you up is down and down is up sets you back a bit. Guess how I would know this. At some point, you question why you are unhappy, why things aren’t working, and why people seem to withdraw...

You drooling and baby killing racist, you! Does seem like a double standard exists, doesn’t it? It may seem like it is all a show put on by Leftists to get their lazy a** ni**ers to vote. However, I personally know of examples of racism in law enforcement and believe it is rampant enough to...

Although sometimes you seem to get “A little emotional” with your posts, I respect your thought processes. The BLM movement is not perfect by any means. They allowed, and I may be being nice here, to have their movement hijacked by radicals. Violence, destroying businesses, and looting are...

Interesting story. Leftists are a problem not just in the US! Grin. Attached below is a detailed Belarus/Russian article on maria kolesnikova and the movement she is associated with. Impressive woman and testament to the power of social media. In addition, light is shone on the archaic and...

Irons in the fire? I have a funded IB account. Do you have an opinion of their options analytics versus TD?

From Bugenhagen’s link: BLACK LIVES MATTER The #BlackLivesMatter Official Store (#BLMShop) is a response to the demand from our supporters, allies, and organizers to offer authentic Black Lives Matter Global Network (BLM Global Network) merchandise that can both mark and commemorate our shared...

I recall that Destriero usually sets his wings very wide, almost to the point where he is paying no extrinsic value. I suppose one could do the same with an iron condor, but perhaps a small advantage often presents itself in microstructure with butterflys? When these strategies are combined...

The connection between Russia and the Democrats have been established for over a hundred years. Other than Hillary’s spat with Putin and possibly related sanctions on Russia, when has the Democrat Party ever took a position contrary to the interests of Russia? The following is a partial list...
