Juneteeth, options expire on Friday, and buying CDs or treasuries...

C

Cabin111

So I will have about $42,000. worth of options getting called away on Friday...I've known this for awhile. They will most likely get filled on Saturday morning. Since Monday is a holiday, it seems I may not have access to this money till maybe Tuesday/Wednesday...Does that sound correct?? T + 2...I hate the float, when it's my money. The options are at Schwab...Which many of you know, will throw all their settlement money into Schwab Bank (which earns diddly squat).

I'll then put the money into a short term treasury or a short term CD.

It just sort of hit me right now...That many June and January options can expire on three day holiday weekends!! Very sneaky...
 
OMG!!! We are going to lose another Monday, my most hated trading holiday. What's the expiration date on those options? If the expiration date is Friday, then you will see settlement on the 21st, the Wednesday since Monday is a holiday.

That is what I figured...

Many years ago (when CDs were over 7%), I would make sure the CDs didn't mature on a Saturday. You could choose the day of maturity!! A week day...Not a Saturday, before a 3 day holiday!!
 
Happy Juneteenth. It sounds like a holiday for people who are not mentally developed. Can not be precise - let's be vague. It has something to do with people who could not take care of themselves finding out that no one wanted them and they were now free. Most did not know what to do. After being freed no one really wanted anything to do with a group that had an average IQ of 85. Why you would celebrate freeing a large group of people that did not know what to do/could not take care of themselves as a national holiday could only happen in the United States.
 
this is some bs.....a made up holiday just like kwanzaa. i'm just pissed cause they close stonk market just for that....why can't they just leave it open?

My sentiment is that post-modern philosophy, prevailing in tenured academic halls from the 1970s through today, including so-called politically correct speech regulation, is sincerely held but actually harmful in effect, paradoxically harmful to the very groups it purports to protect.

The initial reaction of first hearing the word Juneteenth is that it sounds unrefined or even uneducated, pre-grammar school, undermining itself, an unfortunate choice for an historical event that turns out to be worthy of commemoration. Instead, let us refer to it by its true original name: Emancipation Day.

Anyway, even a casual reader of Rand would know that she would loathe the quoted view. Before prancing around like the above court jester, verbally burping and farting, with Rand's name drawn in crayon in reversed letters on a flag, one may want to carefully read one of her dozen works of verity or one of her half dozen works of fiction. As an ESL author, the latter will not be at the level of Dostoyevsky but is not intended to entertain in that way; rather, it's meant to show the result of the application of her philosophy and vice versa. For example, one can easily infer her disgust of slavery from Anthem. She would be in support of Emancipation Day. She's not veiled or cryptic about such things; so, one has to assume the above reprobate has not done the reading, or perhaps any reading beyond billboards in west virginia.

Tried to read Ayn Rand's novel, one of the driest and most boring novels that I have ever read. Tried to read The Fountainhead. Couldn't even get past the first 5 pages. I guess I am just not intellectual enough to read her works. LOL

No it's a holiday of Appeasement. That's it and that's all. That's it. I have turned it into a political thread. Look at all the trolls swarming in...

As you were.

You must be an alter-ego of another pathetic member of ET here who obviously forgot to take his/her medication for whatever disorder that you have. Your mental illness is forgiven.
