That's correct. Additionally, Robinhood isn't the only one in a bind right now. TD Ameritrade has restricted a lot of options trading on a lot of these stocks, requiring you to call in to sell certain types of derivatives plays wh

There is no doubt that Gamestop is a much more valuable company now than they were a month ago. They've probably gotten hundreds of millions of dollars in free advertising without spending a penny, which is going to result in a feedba

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or real. But one thing is for certain, AWS is using open source software, for profit, under the Apache license, exactly as the license was intended

With regards to this, my point was that Facebook doesn't want to get into a long drawn out discussion with whataboutisms and splitting hairs on policy. They made a business decision to move on from this content platform. I love to hat

I stand by what I posted. I'm allowed to be authoritative as I want in my opinions and what I deem to be a personal analysis of what is a subjective issue. If you aren't in agreement with my assertions, you are free to click the

Let's be fair here. Shared.com is in the business of producing and distributing crap content. That's a subjective term, but it's like the supreme court ruling on pornography, you'll know it when you see it. These guys mo

OP here: My options trading account is well into 7 figures, and I do a tremendous amount of selling premium and wheel strategies on quite a few stocks, in addition to momentum trading. Careful on the investment lectures.

Yup, exactly. There is such thing as momentum trading. Most of my positions were already closed out last month. So all the above thesis’ that said I was doing the wrong thing were.... wrong. I also have significant positions that are DCA

Basically, completely reversing course: 1) Focusing on the winners (FAANG and those that sell shovels to the gold miners) 2) Momentum driven companies where tons of liquidity is flowing to (TSLA etc)

Price discovery always fixes this problem. The problem is how long price discovery takes is never known. But one is certain, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent trying to await that price discovery to finally hap

Early on in the pandemic I was convinced that the US economy was going to have an extremely tough year, and I placed options bets accordingly that were absolutely slaughtered. By July I realized a couple things (and adjusted my investments

I think there are two key solutions for a resolution here: 1) CDNs are a tried a true method for getting content closer to the end user, properly cached, and for less cost. 2) Expose more services that NOAA and the NWS delivers as APIs. If

For all the complaining about the pricing here, just set a reminder to yourself for 1 year later, when the pandemic has waned and some workplaces begin to return to normal. Then take a visual survey of how many people are wearing these in

Try running a content platform with an API. I've never comes across so many developers who feel like they are entitled to unlimited API access for free so they can build businesses on top of your platform.

DirecTV should be at the top of this list. I've tried for 2 years straight to cancel my NFL Sunday Ticket subscription, and every year it comes back. It's like a bad penny that I can't get rid of. But then for each of these
