About the same as a bar of gold in Fort Knox, a stack of $100 bills, or a few bitcoin. This is from "Debt, the first 5000 Years" (David Graeber, 2014)

You think? I love it... I can sit and listen to my music playlists, write code... and if something interesting happens in the SnP, I hear a *DING!* or _ding_ as the case may be. Then I know to glance over at my other screen, check the terminal, and see a log line I wrote of what spiked/plunged...

I wrote a Python script to issue a high/low tone if a US equity in the SnP 500 went +/-x% (say +/-5%) from the previous day's close. I'd have my headphones on while working and would be notified of spikes and plunges. I could hack you a little something and hook it up to futures data if u want...

Not at all ethical! You should be drinking whiskey, like a grown-up.

Which book?

This is a pretty good mix.

Just ask your friends in France for someone that needs USD. They can also look here in the US for people holding Euros. The point is to avoid the commissions and fees... they're crushing.

Find someone that is traveling to the States and needs USD. Trade at market price, with Zero (0) commissions, fees, and market-maker cuts of all kind. They can be 14% or higher at the airport... armed robbery!

I definitely had to create different usernames for my paper and live accounts. I think I use the same email.

// Keith's note: This was looked upon favorably, resulting in a market swell today; however, in my opinion, this knife cuts both ways. It may indicate an upcoming taper, as Uncle Jerome et alia at the Fed are looking at employment statistics as a key metric to reduce 120B+/month in QE. This may...

I was never comfortable with this company. It was always setting off my "spider sense." - Horrible customer service, worst I've ever seen for any kind of broker. Impossible to get help... even with password resets. Frustrating. - One day I logged in, and my account was zeroed-out (!) - I don't...

More important than "number of trades" are the market conditions that demand action based on your strat. If three instruments show the market condition you seek, then trade all three. Hundreds of trades per day really demands some kind of api or algorithm, unless you're one-click scalping or...

A thought that crossed my mind is that all this currency printing is a response to China devaluing the Yuan.

Also, I believe that much of the drop in unemployment (after the massive 2020 spike) was due to PPP "loans" (grants), designed to keep people employed. It wasn't "authentic" re-employment, based on demand for workers. Hard to tell when those cash payments will be used up. MORE cash injections...

Must be nice to get a piece of that 120B/month QE, eh? First of the month... a nice check for $5B rolls in... time to buy some Welfare Weed... I haven't looked into it, but do you know if there's any visibility into _who_ is the beneficiary of all this QE? I'm sure the usual suspects: JPM, GS...

Right? Car rentals and fuel are way way up.

They _want_ to keep pouring money into the markets. To justify this, they change the basis for their tapering/rate increase decision to data that supports more QE. Why? I've heard several theories: devalue the US dollar, keep the markets rising for political motivations, fear of a...
