    TSM ... Taiwan Semiconductor

    us navy can't even enter the taiwan strait if china puts up a blockade and mine the water. taiwan strait is important because over 80% of the shipping to japan and south korea passes that line, cut down about half a day at least vs philippine sea, but it is very narrow.

    Call credit spread assignment procedure

    I bet no one will do a 4m trade with you with merely 100k in cash. Try and see what happens, the worst case is reducing to 10% of the positions.

    TSM ... Taiwan Semiconductor

    no, us fleet is on eastern seaboard of taiwan at best, while chinese will land on the west side. the narrowest distance is just 80 miles, about from nyc to philadelphia, can’t fit so many ships unless to be sunk.

    TSM ... Taiwan Semiconductor

    it is called surrender, if cia didn’t blow it already. but sure some of its employees are for unification, hard to change people’s minds.

    TSM ... Taiwan Semiconductor

    No war anytime soon. This senator is not a good trader, has no inside information neither. If TSM collapses, neither country will have high end chips, no more iPhone and pixel, no more MacBooks, the entire tech sector would crash. Hence lot of protection money on the table to stabilize.

    Ex-Obama staffer blows whistle on Biden 'kickback scheme' after Hunter joined Burisma

    You could probably survive on quality whole grain bread that’s been fermented for a while. But eventually you would run into nutritional deficiencies, and in all likelihood, you’d eventually get sick of the carb-laden substance. - a quote from popular science

    TSM ... Taiwan Semiconductor

    I don’t worry about tsm, already made some bucks shorting last year when the news broke. My view is that tsm will break into 2 businesses. One in Arizona will go bankrupt soon, its tech will be taken over by intel. One in Taiwan or perhaps in a not so distant future after China takes over...

    Call credit spread assignment procedure

    Level 4 can allow you to write naked calls/puts, index options etc. I have that with TradeStation but not with Fidelity. I had numbers of instances when I don’t have enough cash to take the full assignment (or barely) on Friday’s close. Fidelity immediately closed out my positions Monday...

    I guess they are leaving, hope the Chinese won’t dump the treasury in a hurry. Remember the days when a Big Mac was $3.99? Now it is $12.99.

    China Preparing for War

    Russians are the first to find out they can’t buy shit using dollars under sanctions, China are not that far behind. Dollar strength is a commonly accepted myth, could be euro or any means of exchange.
