Fox too. I went to watch regular syndicated comedy programming on a local TV station that is also a secondary Fox news and sports station, and the regular programming was preempted to carry Fox coverage of the hearings.
There didnt seem to any commentary or analysis. Just videos of testimony and extensive clips of the events at the Capitol, most of which where pretty unflattering to those who swarmed the place.
There were two in The Bay Area in the early 2000s: wet and dry. Prolonged drought has made us a one-season region, talking about four seasons like other areas.
Pandemic gambling steam was going to run out eventually, but with $6B cash cushion, gives them a lot of time to figure out a long term strategy or get acquired by a traditional brokerage looking for a youth channel.
They have to keep that $6B almost entirely in reserve as collateral to avoid another GME. Why would you say stuff like this on a public forum when you have no idea how that industry works?
That is an insane drop. What is going on? Are they being outcompeted or simply not making money? Is their business model (being an easy to use broker for little people) simply not good?
I started trading on RH in 2019. They make investing simple and approachable for someone who like me who knew the basics and just wanted to play around a bit with some spare cash.
But after a couple years when I want to start taking it more seriously, their platform has failed to grow and improve. In the three years I've used them, I can't think of a single new feature they added that I use. Meanwhile, there are plenty of things I'd like. For example, it's beyond ridiculous that price graphs don't have their axes labeled. When selling stock, it's always FIFO, so I can't choose which lots to sell to optimize tax liabilities.
The problem is that I have a hard time leaving because their margin rates (~3%) are so damn good compared to the major players (8% or higher).
IB has very conservative risk management wrt margin and there is no margin call. If the market moves against you, they will liquidate you rapidly. Something to keep in mind when considering your LTV. Their margin rates are good, but there’s a reason they’re good.
Good margin rates will be difficult to find in a rising interest rate environment. You can get lower rates from traditional brokers if you have a substantial net worth btw ($1MM+ AUM).
There aren’t offering anything new and even frontrun their customers. And with the GameStop fiasco, I think a lot of people realizes it was a bad business model. I don’t think they will be able to recover. It will drop even more if a recession ever hits.
They don't front-run orders. They still give best execution but they receive a small fee from market makers for sending orders their way.
If both market maker A and market maker B offer the same price but B is going to pay them slightly more than A for your order, then they can legally route your order to B.
Many brokers do this now.
Front running is different entirely. For example, if you were about to buy a load of stock, front running would be Robinhood buying in before you, waiting for your order to clear the price level, and then selling a few ticks higher.
>They don't front-run orders. They still give best execution but they receive a small fee from market makers for sending orders their way.
I really have most serious doubts about the idea that you can simultaneously get paid for order flow and deliver on your best execution obligations - the payment for order flow literally comes out of missed price improvement opportunities for the customer. FINRA seems to feel the same way and fired a warning shot over the bows last year: https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/notices/21-23
Citadel believes that they are less likely to lose money when they fill orders from retail investors. They're just paying for access to rubes, basically a finders fee.
Went from being the golden child of /r/wallstreetbets (literally every portfolio screenshot was of robin hood) to being villainized due to suspicious circumstances regarding locking people out of trading Gamestop "for their own good." Now any screenshot of robin hood is ridiculed.
Yeah as soon as those orders weren't being filled and the ceo of robinhood was grilled by congress no one ever believed in them. On the discord there still people that use robinhood but most people use different brokers anyway like TD Ameritrade.
The entire market had a similar drop this week (especially today) and has been slow-burning for the last three months, so. Take it with a grain of salt.
I don't think so, and Wikipedia is back for me. But that was my first thought too when I suddenly couldn't get to either Wikipedia or Discord. Both are places where Russians might be getting their own outside information.
Don't browse youtube on the browser you have logged in to google.
Use firefox with ublock origin and don't log in to google. Youtube is great without ads. Use chrome for any of those things that you are okay with being tracked. Use archive.is when they bitch about blockers.
Use tor browser to see interesting ads not targeted to you.
If this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that they're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations.
Not to be confused with Cassowary: an incremental constraint solving toolkit that efficiently solves systems of linear equalities and inequalities. ( https://constraints.cs.washington.edu/cassowary/ )
People should really invest effort in creating unique names for their tools. Case in point a popular git gui client is called "fork". As in git fork named after the git command. Doing troubleshoot googles for that software is a frickin nightmare.
Try living in the C# ecosystem and figuring out how to migrate from entity framework 6 on .NET 4.8 to entity framework core 3 without switching to .NET 6 or .NET core.
I like that a few video games are multi-words (e.g. Oxygen Not Included) and use a common abbreviation, (ONI) that is google-able - for instance "oni tutorial" is pretty good, or "oxygen not included tutorial" is a sure thing. Maybe more software needs to have more words in the name.
Fashion or not, there's a clear advantage to tumblrize words to create names. The name is still recognizable with the association you're looking for, but the spelling is unique and easy to search for.
Almost as bad as the tool by google simply called 'repo', used to manage git repos... Imagine the confusions and difficulties of googling for troubleshooting.
That's a bad choice (like go), but you can't expect people to find a unique name. It's best to avoid frequent words, names of popular things, and names in the same domain, for your project's visibility, but the dictionary isn't big enough for all the projects in the world. Github alone has over 200 million repositories.
That should only be an issue if projects have to be named with a preexisting word. But that practice will basically always end up conflicting with the existing meaning of the world. IMO the best names are words which previously didn't exists at all.
Several years ago someone had a bright idea to name a game "N". And then someone decided to call a game console "switch" which made troubleshooting network problems (with this console) hilariously nightmarish.
I saw one few years ago near Melbourne with friends at the nature park and it's unblinking state at me was very, very unsettling. I did not f*ck around with it even though friends were encouraging me to peg it. That hook on the leg is deadly looking...
Yes, but this one looks like one, in the sense of "show a picture to someone who doesn't know about them and they will not believe that this is a real animal alive today".
I've been trying to remember the name of this for ages - I thought it was patented at one stage though, would you know if thats true? I can't seem to find the patent.
