Real time settlement and instant bank transfers would mean RH wouldn’t need to put up any collateral. And even same day settlement after close of markets plus instant bank transfers would have completely avoided all this. I commented as suc

Fidelity and Vanguard run their own clearinghouses and don’t touch DTCC. Robinhood technically does as well, but they still do the vast majority of their clearing through DTCC. Pretty likely RH will invest in their clearing operations this

Intent matters. In your hypothetical, they wouldn’t be able to rely on the argument of risk management if their risk profile hadn’t changed.

Since the collateral requirements were based on their net position, sells reduced their collateral requirements while buys increased it. This was a risk management decision and since they don’t profit directly from the price moving one way

They just got a $1B and it’s looking like everything they did was legal and within their rights. If anything good comes out of this whole fiasco, can it be the end of ACH and the beginning of an instant bank settlement system? Extend that t

Because the trade isn’t instant. It takes 2 days to settle the clearinghouse during which time RH has to put down cash as collateral that they won’t go bankrupt in those two days.

Not in Alabama. There’s a reason the federal government had to use the national guard to force Alabama to follow Brown v Board of Education and let minorities attend the state college. This was in 1963, less than 60 years ago. It’s not like

The incentive to make money is a great motivator for making investments in things that better humanity. I think recycling is great, but I’m not going to bankrupt myself starting a recycling company given the current market conditions.

You have to take the entire phrase “forever chemicals” together. It’s a subset of chemicals that don’t break down / take a long time to break down and can’t be processed by the human body. At that point, it becomes a well defined phras

You did read it wrong. “American right-wing” was an adjective on the noun “terrorist.” You interpreted “American right-wing” as a noun. I updated the language.

Scotland should kick them out as well. Also I find it kind of hilarious how many people who hate Brian Krebs go out of their way to comment on his website. “Free speech” warriors don’t seem to understand freedom to associate or free markets
