You’d have a point if if all those households you mention had robust battery storage. If they did, they could sell stored power to the electric utility during peak demand hours and make $$$. You don’t appear to understand how peak power demand works. Loads at 10:00 am are quite manageable -...

Look at the Daily COVID case trends in the US. It’s been coming off since July. How many years now have you wasted screaming and posting about the overvalued stock market?

Thanks to Magnus the air cooled 911’s went bonks. Then you have Singer and Gunther Werks that use only the 993 platform to build their $500K-plus Boutique creations.

There are investors that “flip” collectible cars. You really have to know the cars and the market, though. For that matter you can flip collectible guitars, violins, art, all sorts of stuff. It helps to have quite a bit of cash on hand and a desperate seller for any of it. And you need to...

The zero gravity suspended “money shot”? :cool:

Having owned a few collectible muscle cars over the years - it’s not free money. You have to pick and choose very wisely. The ‘08 market crash smoked quite a few cars - especially the Mopar HEMI and Six-Pack cars.

People buy stocks for future earnings potential. Toyota can’t sell 20X of something that will be outlawed or mandated into nonexistence in 5 or 10 years. Tesla is building Giga Factories in the US, EU, and China. I used to be a sceptic - then I saw how poorly VW, Porsche, BMW, Jaguar, GM, and...

You think too much of yourself. The NASDAQ stocks of ‘99-‘00 have very little in common with the business models of the present day NASDAQ stars. There was and is an Internet - that is the only commonality. Who’s buying NASDAQ? The freaking world. Look at where the Nordic (especially) and...

This is Generac Holdings. They are the largest supplier of home backup power generators in the United States. According to the financial press, when Pacific Gas & Electric started to divest itself of its generation portfolio, they started to sell quite a few of these Natural Gas generators in...

Gavin Newsom explained to journalists on Monday that Solar Cells don't generate power when there is cloud cover and it is nightime. Governor Newsom also explained that Wind Turbines don't generate power when the wind doesn't blow. California is expected to be 4,400 Megawatts short on power...

True genius. Again, I ask of you: "where is the path of pain?"

Daytrader with a mouse in one hand staring at a screen for seven hours every day: Wounded Antelope on the Serengeti Plain. Daytrader with a well designed automated trading program running on a very high performing ECN: a fighting chance.

Where is the path of pain in the markets?

I'm not in that racket :confused: Although I have placed a few clients from time to time with top tier CME-registered proprietary trading firms - firms like DRW or Jump or Wolverine take absolutely NO money from their traders. Strictly forbidden. They would lose their CME Electronic...

The problem that I've run into with older cases are limitations with the Motherboard in terms of expansions and updates. The power supplies get bad as well. I was able to get that Tower from the Lenovo Factory Outlet cheaper than I could get the components from NewEgg: Tower Case, big enough...

If your goal is to spread futures against futures, AMP is not ideal as they will not give you margin offsets. I've been through this with several clients already. There are some big Chicago FCM's who clear all kinds and types of spread traders, and they have the proper Risk Controls and...

When I transitioned from day trading to swing trading that helped quell the obsession somewhat. So for me, switching from immediate gratification to delayed gratification helped. As did locating my workstation with the trading front end behind me in my office layout.

Maybe I can add some color, especially as it pertains to the phrase "...and they used futures-style SPAN margining to allow for offsets" Many institutions, commercials, HF's, etc. run some variation of a relative value strategy as part of their trading program. When I trade futures, for...

I've purchased five Lenovo WorkStations direct through the Lenovo Factory Outlet over the past fifteen years or so as I recall. There are new restocks, model overruns, and refurbished. I typically get the new restocks. What will happen is that an IBM Commercial business IT customer will...

Great post, thanks. http://www.futuresmag.com/2015/07/29/future-single-stock-futures "The resistance came in the form of a debilitating regulatory structure and powerful competitors in the stock loan business. “It could have succeeded as a futures product alone if the SEC had been willing to...
