What was your doctoral thesis? I ask because you present yourself as a macroeconomist.

That makes no sense to me at all. If it was a Buy order at 200 it would be filled and you would have an open position with a marked P&L. You obviously would not be filled with a Sell order at 200. Is this SIM or a live market?

I've been using TT for decades and I don't really understand this question. But yeah, even a "partial" fill is an open position subject to a P&L mark. Doesn't really matter how you got there, you have risk on.

So are you claiming that it was your idea for the UK Pension System to buy corporate paper? Which of your novel ideas did the UK government adopt at your behest? Were you on the Blair Task Force? Or are you just claiming credit for something that the UK system has already been doing? Where...

Ouch. From the OP's article: "Elliot is the latest financial executive, including billionaire hedge fund managers Paul Tudor Jones and David Tepper, and activist investor Carl Icahn, who are decamping from the Northeast for Florida which boasts lower taxes." So apparently a bunch of these...

Newton was flying high until Einstein came along and published a paper in 1905.

Yeah, they mistook leverage for genius. Rinse and repeat in 2008.

The deceased DID NOT TAKE THE VACCINE. Brazil's Health Authorities overseeing the trials recommended that the trial continue. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-21/astrazeneca-dips-on-report-of-brazil-death-in-vaccine-trial

Technically those funds in the Trust structure are under the management of the two oldest Trump sons and the Company CFO. When Donald Trump asks for and is granted a funds withdrawl - then that is taxable, reportable income.

17 Million - that's Joe Biden money, not Donald Trump money.

That's a great point. You can also use scales to move in and out of a winning position. Adding to winners is how the real FU money gets made. At least from my experience, one of the problems with adding to losers is that the original trade idea gets thrown out the window and it devolves...

This is why Canada has the Court System. Sue them, because Canadians get to recover Court Costs and Legal Fees for this type of litigation.

As a footnote, until you "realize" your profit (close it), your FCM will not allow the entire positive open position MtoM equity to be used as margin.

ZeroHedge was talking about a whale who bought 360,000 VIX Puts this past Friday. He does alot of OTM stuff that's mostly worthless but he hits some giant winners on occasion. Word is he made something like $2.6B in February being long OTM Calls.

That's why adding to winners on a position that's marking up positive account equity is such a powerful tool. And conversely, it's why adding to losers just compounds losing.

Your understanding of the securities held by US property and casualty insurance companies versus US pension funds is wildly incorrect. Since you are a self-described macroeconomist so stuck in with government pension plans I'm shocked. :confused: About 35 percent-ish ish of US pension fund...

If you tried charting the top property/casualty insurers the answer is obvious. BRK.A looks fine, AIG took a big hit in February but it's recovering, MET took a big hit in February but it has gained a good portion of it back, ING has come off quite a bit since 2018 - took a big hit in February...

Well, there used to be quite a bit of duplicative listings between regulated futures exchanges in the late '90's and early 2000's in an effort to poach business from each other - mercifully this amounted to nothing and the exchanges stopped this circular firing squad nonsense.

Generally speaking, US regulated futures exchanges consider PFOF to be an abusive market practice. There are a couple notable exceptions for good operational reasons, but nowhere close to being as pervasive as the stock exchanges and it's not really the same thing as just selling trades to a...

I used to trade the Treasury Basis, and you'll need more than just the underlying in your account in terms of margin.
