Stuff like when Tom called me and asked if he could have a truckload of pork bellies (CME ticker:GBP. And: I told him no.) delivered to our house. Sadly frozen pork belly futures don't trade anymore and haven't for about 4 years

This doesn't mean all trading is suspended, it just means you can't trade specifically on NYSE or NYSE MKT (formerly Amex). You can still trade NYSE listed stocks at all the other exchanges (BATS, NASDAQ, NYSE Arca, etc). Obviou

Wyoming has something like 0.2% of the US population. I wonder if the number of Wyoming-based active accounts at Coinbase even reaches into the triple digits.

Another way to look at it is that Twitter's first trade on the NYSE in November 2013 was at $45.10, and today, almost a year and a half later, it closed at around $42. That is not a whole lot of return for what is supposed to be a grow

Yes, they are and they did. There are now circuit breakers in the US equities market that didn't exist in 2010. It would be basically impossible to get executions at $0.01 or $199,999.99 or large caps instantly trading at a 20% discoun

I have come across networks that filter everything but a few TCP ports (like 80 and 443) Another point scored for TCP in TCP with an SSL VPN. :-)
