I self-published a 300 page book through Ingram in 2012. It is pretty niche and only sells about 200 physical and 50 or so Kindle copies a year. The whole thing was done in LaTex with a Tufte book package; there are a few tables and image

Which comes first? The trade or the settlement? Are you going to instantly reverse the trade too if they payment doesn't come through? What happens when there is a fiber cut or other network issue? Trading halt because one broker can

Even if trades settled at T+0 (overnight) there are still rules against good faith and free riding violations in addition to liquidation issues.

So they should penalize all their other clients who are not involved in trading GME? Everyone else should pay the price because DTCC raised collateral requirements to settle GME trades?

by beezle 6y ago
DTCC is not a villian. You would have the same problems for any settlement greater than T+0 and in the limit T>0 the problem actually increases as you eliminate the possibility of netting positions.

This is a portion of a message sent to all users that IB sent out Friday afternoon: We are seeing unprecedented volatility in GME, AMC, BB, EXPR, KOSS and a small number of other U.S. securities that has forced us reduce the leverage previ

I think what he is suggesting is that historically buying after a 20% or more sell-off leads to outsized gains in the US market. That does not preculde already being invested as sitting on the sidelines waiting for such a move can be self d

The problem with traditional retail being short naked puts is they generally do not have a pool of cash sitting on the sidelines to absorb margin calls and/or buy (if assigned). Likewise, buying in a tanking market on margin entails ad

Re IB: if you are a "Pro" account generally not. If you are a "Lite" account, yes they get paid for order flow. As to the other point, I belive the issue was in settlement, not clearing, ie with DTCC collateral reqs.

Hull is a great book and is not too heavy on the math. However, for someone just getting their feet wet, Options as a Strategic Investment by MacMillan is a classic.

Generally speaking, a seller of naked puts is looking to supplement income via a stock they are willing to own at a lower level. If you are not willing to take delivery, it is probably better to sell a vertical spread so that there is a bu

Not hospitalized does not mean no damage, short or long term. That is not to say this vaccine is a bust, but I for one was disappointed in the efficacy. The Novavax vaccine appears to be better and is also able to use existing supply chain

1- RH is one of hundreds of brokers, not all of whom stopped taking trades for opening positions in GME. Is your point then that RH traders are the only buyers? Is it a ponzi scheme then? 2- It is NOT an EULA. Your agreement with a broke

That is not always the case, certainly not in modern times. If you have a full service broker and there appears to be sufficient time to contact you, they may do so and give you a chance to pick what to close out. However, very few people

All brokers are mandated to provide the legal terms of the account and margin accounts include language concerning a) the risks and b) what options the broker has available should your account fall below their required margin (which might

I said on another comment, brokers should have been raising margin reqs on these stocks the past few weeks as it became obvious this was a volatility nightmare in the making. That would have given them increased protection and dampened the

I'm sure this will all be downvoted because it will hurt peoples feelings. 1- RH, Etrade, etc are not manipulating anything. The ones who manipulated were the reddit and other chat rooms. If Costco doesn't want to stock your fav

Personally, in hindsight, I think the better course of action would have been to raise the margin requirement on those holdings to 100%. However, I imagine the SEC requires notice of more than overnight on such action which is probably why

Nothing in that regulation stipulates that a broker must provide access to a market in any (and therefore every) security. Specifically, it refers to any transaction Clearly, a transaction can't occur unless the broker agrees they

Brokers can and do change margin requirements in times of high volatility. For instance, IB raised margin reqs going into the election on many products. Also, I am fairly certain that no broker is under obligation to provide you trading acc

The top line beat by about $2.5B at 20B. AMD is expected to announce q4 revenues of $3.0B. Think AMD still has a ways to go before dethroning Intel.

3) I agree OI is going to be the goto but I'd caution to have a good feel for the underlying and market participants. It is not just market makers that sell calls - covered writes are a popular strategy by investors to pick up income.

I spent quite a bit of time in FX and some in fixed income as well, good pickup!
