And who decides what these standard meanings are?

by greenshackle2 6y ago
I get the reference, but it seems like either a non-sequitur or a joke I'm not getting.

tl;dr yes but you would probably get beaten to the punch by high frequency traders, and risk being exploited by the discloser. If you had sneaky exclusive access to their trading flow in real time then yeah sure you could copy them and get

Technically words can have more than one meaning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb#Thumb_and_fingers Colloquially, for many (most?) English speakers, the thumb is a finger: https://books.google.com/n

Err, that's exactly what 80,000 hours, the EA career advice organization, recommends. The recommendation to pursue a high-earning career is last , they recommended pursuing research, policy, and joining altruistic organizations ahead

I got that same advice circa 2015. However I'm under the impression they started moving away from "earning-to-give" recommendations around 2015-2016. It's still there mind you, but research and policy are prioritized hig

An important fact to remember about art valuation is that art can be bought and sold anonymously through private dealers who are not subject to anti money laundering regulations. The trick is to buy some art at a reasonable price, store it

It's pretty close but it's not quite the same vowel. Bite (fr) is pronounced [bit], bit (en) is pronounced [bɪt]. But the vowel is also different in cock [kɒk] vs coq [kɔk]. EDIT: I think I missed the point, if I'm reading &q

According to my father it is alive and well in Canadian insurance as well. But he said where he worked they don't change the COBOL code much anymore, they add features by adding layers in other languages around the COBOL core.

github.io is on the list. *.github.io is not. They are different. The rule only goes one level down. The github.io rule means foo.github.io cannot share with bar.github.io. However foo.private-org.github.io can share with bar.private-org.gi

I think you are forgetting brakes. There is absolutely no way a train is free-rolling it down a hill. They will be on brakes the entire time - dynos and air brakes - so you are "getting back" a lot of those joules in the form of e

Not pedantic just confused, I've never heard stock index futures referred to as commodity futures, that's all. If you told me you're a commodity trader and all you trade are stock indices I'd be puzzled. But maybe that&#

No. Shorting cannot be faster than writing uncovered call options. They have the same exposure but the option has more leverage.

Uh, NQ is stock future not a commodity future? Commodity futures are soybean, oil, corn, gold, etc.

Yeah there's no technical reason not to at this point, China has it. Just inertia and having to invest in the systems and processes to do it, I guess. It started at like T+14 when you had to mail physical stock certificates around then

The available cash in a brokerage account can be a bit of a fiction, in that the brokerage may not literally hold it as cash, they may put it in a low-yield safe investment and keep the interest, and they may let you trade with unsettled fu

There is a difference between believing in corruption and believing a specific conspiracy based on anonymous hearsay. So yes. It's literally a conspiracy theory.

Your link explains what actual naked shorting is, you should read it. It says nothing about re-lending. Naked shorting is not "re-lending", it's a very specific technical thing where you sell the stock without owning or borr

by greenshackle2 6y ago
No. Re-lending and naked shorting are nothing alike. Actually my example kinda sucked. What's more likely to happen is that B borrows the stock from A, then sells it to C. C then lends the share to D. C doesn't know or care that t
