Clearly a troll.

Now, what about Elon Musk?

Very cryptic. So shorting a little SPY or waiting till 300?

No. 

Decided a long time ago I’d not envy anyone who made it with Crypto’s but I don’t trust them because I don’t trust the “system” not to find a way to bring them down.

How do you think 'they' will try to bring cryptos down? Will that risk harming economic growth?

As long as blockchain doesn't displace central bank fiat I don't see what they would have against it?

Bitfinex Used Tether Reserves to Mask Missing $850 Million

Seems just a correction.

recently, i have been using calls on tza,  have you looked at that?

(do you see the obvious trade here?  I missed it. I was sleeping)

I am Nervous about you mirroring my trade, especially for the exit

I am in an unfavorable time zone for trading the us markets.

For instance now, i just happened to wake up at before 3am.

How can I worry about when you exit a trade?

You may have more & better exit opportuities than I have

 

TZA wasn't on my radar. But I looked back at your previous option trades and I did see you use calls on it.

TBH I'd rather just buy it outright but I can't buy US ETFs due to EU regs.

Ok no mirroring then, it was just a thought. I do wonder if there's an opportunity to take advantage of here, or will the stock market go parabolic first, in which case there are at least a few more weeks of this rally to go. Perhaps sell in May and go away?

Ok cool. I'd be prepared to mirror any SPY trade, as I have never done it before, but I still want to try while the index is at all-time highs. Or I can wait till it crosses 300+. Anyhow, I'd need some guidance on how to pick a strike and expiry. Are there charts of the options and are the SPY options traded on exchange or just OTC? So many questions haha. I at least know a smidge from a past job at an options dealer, but never learnt the strategies or read Hull. Also gonna ask my options dealing friend at Citi maybe he'll know something.

Any ideas about buying SPY puts DrB? Or maybe waiting for it to go higher, although it's already gone up so much already.

I'm not really familiar with choosing an expiry, strike price and option valuations, how would you choose whether to buy ITM or not?

Societe Generale SFH, the covered bond vehicle of Societe Generale, issued the first covered bond (EUR 100m) as a security token on a public blockchain.

On Ethereum no less.

Just bought at £7.86, probably idiotic but still at a lower price than most.

Given that parliament has shown their unwillingness to allow a no deal Brexit, this allows the EU to demand concessions from Britain in exchange for extending the deadline. Well played. This can probably go on for a while.

I'm starting to think property, as it's relatively scarce and is the new store of value replacing gold. You can also live in it and earn yield on it. Now just need to find someplace where it's undervalued, probably not London unless hard Brexit happens.

Perhaps, but I'd say we're staring in the face of an global economic downturn, so demand may not be there.

Not sure what would have a similar AGRI focus

Home & Garden

She sticks a rose stalk into a potato and look what happens a week later! Amazing!

This is how you do it:

Pick a rose you like, remove all of the leaves and diagonally cut off the head of the rose (approximately 3 centimeters from the flower). If the flower is still pretty, you can put it in a tiny vase; it will look really cute!

Take the potato and drill in a hole the width of the stalk; make sure the stalk doesn’t wobble within the hole. Cover the bottom of the pot with 5 centimeters of potting soil, and place the potato on top. Fill the rest of the pot with potting soil. Cut off the bottom of your plastic bottle and carefully place it over the stalk sticking out of the soil. Occasionally water the rose (around the bottle) and watch how your roses grow like never before!

Take a look at the video below to see how it works!

Hmm, time to go long potatoes maybe?

I was interested in buying DBA in the UK but it seems trading is restricted for "retail" clients like myself - this is to do with certain US ETFs neglecting to provide a Key Information Document. Should I forget about the trade or is there another way to get a similar exposure?

True it’s very boring hearing it every day but then general politics and most politicians bore me easily.

However, I voted leave and I don’t see how in a so called democracy, incompetence from politicians should deny a decision in a referendum. End of.

Not denied but delayed, indefinitely, until the bankers/politicians get the deal they want.

Is anyone long? The last bull run in 2017 there was at least some chatter here.

No reason for good to always triumph. No one cares about this issue anymore just flip a coin ffs.

McEwen Mining Terminates Equity Distribution Agreement

This seems to be raising the price a bit in after hours.

Nice recovery lol... still holding.

Not a bad companion to hold during this gold bull.

Fuel The Rockets, Liftoff is Due April 24th

I finally got the time today to sit down with the book. It was pretty much a giveaway which chapter was referring to you. I am impressed by your career background. The investment history and advice is also good.

I will also pick up Niederhoffer's book on your recommendation. I have a feeling it will be as instructive as Livermore's classic.

Ok! Just bought a copy of Free Capital and will spend today figuring out which chapter is about you!

> ...participated a bit in their teaching.  Like this guy, Victor Niederhoffer

Did you teach Victor Niederhoffer?

I see, very illuminating, thanks. I'm not going to pretend to be able to match what you're doing but it's still incredible watching a master at work. A trading wizard perhaps?

That's a good profit. If you don't mind me asking, how much money do you typically risk on option plays? Since they can expire worthless, I'm guessing you don't bet too large just in case.
