Thank you tommcginnis and d08!!!

Haha thanks. Can't say I disagree!

I have several securities in my account, including a little TVIX. Since its the biggest mover, I always see it swinging WILDLY in the after market, and I'm not just talking at 4:01 or 4:05 eastern, it seems to fluctuate for several hours after the close. However, if I try and place an order...

Wow. Its just no on else chooses to. Like why commissions are so competitive, but why no one else chooses to match IB on margin rates. Just seems a little weird.

Waaaaait a sec Mcnoob. You mentioned IB going bankrupt. I hope you have not heard anything, and this is just a theoretical risk? I've got all my assets with them!

By the way, is a broker short rate same as margin on borrowing? Or rates are different? Thanks!

Been with IB for probably not much short of 2 decades. Originally loved them for their super low commissions. But other brokers' commissions seemed to have dropped over time, and I do not know how much of an advantage IB has in that area these days. Bit their margin rates still seem KILLER...

Haha those must be some EPIC meatballs! We've got one alllll on the other side of town, I'll have to try it I guess and report back to the EliteTraders! Thanks Overnight.

Never eaten there. Can it compare to Costco?

I know that there can be a ton of factors that go into whether one currency appreciates vis-a-vis another one, but it seems to me that one of the biggest factors, if not the biggest factor, in the very long term would be how much money are their respective governments printing. If one...

Fucking HORRIBLE. Who can I write to to tell these regulator fuks to piss off?

Baaaahahahaha! What day was that? I hope that was like a 2008 think, else he was going just a weeeee bit overboard lol!!!

Those guys fuked lol.

No I think I fully understand what you are saying. Strike is 191. Even if SPY drops to *191*, and expires there, I get nothing at the exercise and I'm out the option premium. I would be OK with that. I would roll the options say every 3 months or so to keep them out a significant duration...

I fully understand that bpr, that's why I said 191 strike would be appropriate for me if I could suffer a 41% loss, but could not suffer more. I think we are on the same page, are we not? But, to be fair, there would be SOME protection before price went below 191, as SPY got closer and closer...

I am looking here: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SPY210115P00191000?p=SPY210115P00191000 That is a January 15, 2021 put. So basically a 12 month put. Strike price is at 191. The ask is 86 cents. SPY is currently at currently call it 328. (328-191)/328 = 41% .86/328 = .26% So...

Low fee index funds definitely seem the way to go...

Saw someone mention these, I've never been even remotely a big enough hitter to have gotten into these. I need to start learning. But off hand, take a future, I sell an SP500 future for 3200 with a May 2020 expiration. So that means if SP500 ends below 3200 I get the delta (plus the sales...

Bump

Looking to still be in the green upon open haha.
