I've spent way too long getting VMs to work on various platforms. I hate paying for software but does vmware make it a lot easier? It sucks to use free OSs, but then pay to virtualize.

I'm sure people here will recognize that a boring 10-k is easy for bots to parse and enter into computer systems that most users end up using. In fact 10-ks should probably have standardized XML format or similar for this.

Its about time it became normal in the UK for accounts to carry fees. I dont know how retail banking can continue without them. Esp the new fintechs they will have near-zero revenue coming in and have to pay to hold cash.

Maybe banks & brokers could add an extra delay. I'm kind surprised how you can be so passionate about 2 day settlement though, does it really affect your life so much? I can't see how it really helps the financial industry.
