One of the proprietary trading companies in particular that you chose to "exclude" turns over more sovereign fixed income volume than some Investment Banks.

1. It's assumed by just about every diplomat in the world that Israel has Nukes. Common number bandied about is 90. 2. The intelligence services of Israel, the Saudis, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Morocco, and Jordan have been working together since 2016 - specifically, against Iran. 3...

Look, I am very libertarian in my political views and the way I live and interact with others. But not wearing a mask in public is just a selfish and dangerous fuck you. Normally I am somewhat amused - even encouraged, about nature weeding out the idiots living among us. But when you risk the...

My Mother died from Alzheimer's. It's the sixth leading cause of death in the US according to the CDC. https://www.cdc.gov/features/alzheimers-disease-deaths/index.html

Yes and No. I have some past professional experience trading electricity options -and there's a price to be paid for getting into and out of options in illiquid markets.

I am still hearing about elderly deaths being tagged as “COVID” when there hasn’t been an autopsy done here in the US. High School friend of mine had his Mom pass last month. She had been suffering from Alzheimer’s for years now. When he found out through the funeral home that the County had...

They were making hand sanitizer in Mexico from Methanol - which of course is highly permeable into the skin and toxic

Biden is a Corporatist Dem. Nothing will change. The insanely wealthy Dem supporters love the platitudes. Warren Buffett’s tax bracket hasn’t changed in 50 years.

Just a side note - I used to have to wear really high performance respirators on occasion as a Nuclear Engineer years ago. Looking at pictures of South Koreans during the pandemic- their masks cover most of their face area and they are quite tight fitting. Very much different than the dust...

I get what you're saying, and in terms of manufacturing and apprentice work you are 110% correct. The US really needs to emphasize building things for ourselves, even when it costs a premium. Unfortunately - Quarterly Earnings puts a premium on cheapest cost regardless. Manufacturing has so...

Foreign Policy, Oct. 2019 Economists on the Run Paul Krugman and other mainstream trade experts are now admitting that they were wrong about globalization: It hurt American workers far more than they thought it would. Paul Krugman has never suffered fools gladly. The Nobel Prize-winning...

You're trading the Brent Last Day Financial Contract. Which is financially settled against the last ICE Brent Contract trading day. The Sept BZ contract has traded a little over 12K today...

I take your point. Every other COVID thread really needs to be put in the "Politics" forum, so I thought it best to provide a link to the preeminent medical school in the United States and leave it at that.

You believe or you know? Is this a real account or SIM? I ask because the Nymex Brent Futures is like a sketchy, super thin gappy market. Whenever I trade Brent I use the ICE market exactly because of that reason.

No, I am not short outright crude. I'm a spread trader. You are conflating what I've said and taking it out of context. Again. I asked you to compare the Brent rally from the March lows against the February highs. What "bullish pressure"? No such thing. When the stock market corrects...

Mercedes quality really dropped from 1998 on. It's been well documented and the CEO of Daimler admitted as much in 2005. Many people fault the Chrysler acquisition but the problems were also prevalent in the legacy class vehicles manufactured in Germany. Supposedly Mercedes has gotten better...

Ferrari really sux this year in F1.

You are mistaken in your assessment of "bullish". The weaker rally in Brent (and WTI) since the March lows as compared to the S&P 500 is just that: a sign of weakness as compared to the S&P. You are mistaking more room to the upside in Brent as compared to the Feb highs in Brent as "bullish" -...
