Tulsi or Yang could beat him easily but the corporatist tools at the DNC would never have it...

Well things are looking so bad for the Dem field that HRC is looking to weasel her tired pathetic ass back into things...

That's right... exactly. If you're an under-performing dick then you really don't want to give anyone a convenient excuse to fire your ass.

That's not really it. Fisher charges outrageous fees for under performing the S&P 500 by something like 17% the past 15 years. There was a 10 year period where he was down 54% compared to the S&P 500. Vanguard charges like 0.3% and Fisher charges like 1.74% annually.

The OP is very deceiving. Fisher's fall is more due to his outrageously expensive fee structure - especially given his modest returns. Compare Fisher's fees to Vanguard. The fact of the matter is that Fisher has lagged the S&P 500 for about a decade now.

Two Year Notes versus Eurodollars, Short Sterling versus Euribor, Gold versus Silver, Kansas City versus Chicago Wheat, the Cattle Feeding Spread, etc. etc.. I've got clients with $25K accounts that leg spreads manually. Depends on who you clear, the experience of the Risk Manager, and your...

No I don't think so.

At the exchange home page, go to products, then margins, then choose either intra or inter for the type of spread. Intra is same product different expiry; Inter is between two different but highly correlated products. Every exchange will have SPAN margins for exchange spreads - including...

This is VERY FCM dependent. I will steer clients away from discount brokers because their risk systems are simply not set up for spread offset margins - I mean, 99+% of their clients are scalping flat price outrights. I've had clients using famous name discount brokers who margined each...

Lime Brokerage originated as an offshoot of the Lime proprietary trading firm. It would appear that trading exchanges other than the CME are starting to clamp down on abusive Algos.

There is no compounding with Eurodollars - it’s a pure convexity play.

TOS/TDA data is delayed unless you have a FUNDED account and have been approved in advance for futures/options margin.

And I am telling you that if the CME ever found out that TDA was providing TDA clients with free real time CME ES futures data there would be hell to pay. Like a $73B market cap CME Group as petitioner lawsuit in Federal Court trouble.

Even when I traded 300K round turns per month I paid CME and Eurex for data.

I think you’re being a bit overbearing. Make it a point to be out of your SOFR future by the end of the second week of the specific expiry month and you’ll be fine no matter the month and year. As a practical matter you’d want to be out sooner than that because you’ll see bid/offer liquidity...

Euribor and Eurodollars would be the first place I'd go for liquidity risk. At least then you're covered for EU and US STIR risk. The Euroyen (Japanese STIR deposits held outside of Japan) would also be good, but the futures liquidity is spotty.

There is no way in hell that TD Ameritrade is giving away CME real-time data on the ES. NONE. Somehow, even buried in fees - The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is getting paid.

Yes, the EONIA rate - which is the ECB's version of the US Repo Rate. As an aside, the US Repo rate liquidity trap is entirely of the Fed's construction - it's a hangover from the massive QE pump. They've been caught out and are now belatedly just playing catch-up. They bought up all of the...

The United States was always going to eventually abandon the Kurds. And the United States will eventually abandon the Afghans - which I would argue is going to be much more impactful than the Turkish indiscretion with the Kurds. Pakistan fucked the US on Afghanistan - and was caught out in...

Voter perception about the economy, household buying power and employment opportunity is more important than the stock market levels. Otherwise Jimmy Carter would have been elected to a second term.
