Swallows will only eat flying insects and catch them in the air. The common house sparrow typically forges on the ground. The intersection of the insects both species eat is probably close to zero

If you ever live with a parrot long enough, you'll realize they're really little feathered dinosaurs and start to imagine many of their behaviors aren't too far off from their extinct relatives. I've had a couple for ove

Enough to dedicate an 60-90mins of my day to scalping one or two trades and then go about my day as usual. I have a consistent strategy I backtested and follow. I don't see a trade that meets my criteria, then I close my broker. Most p

Other than the fees that normally come with trading an ETF, no. Commissions vary by brokers though. No fees are related to the time you trade though

I day trade futures a few times a week. Rest goes into my Roth IRA or brokerage account as long term stock holdings. It's honestly too much work for me to do anything else and the market is too volatile right now

Anyone that uses IBKR as their broker can trade what I mentioned above pre/post market (and some cases overnight). IBKR is a retail broker. I use them, for example. Most brokers in the US let you trade common stock before and after mar

You can trade SPX (which is what SPY is based on) via IBKR after hours. SPX is only options though. They may have extended that to SPY as well now though, since SPY now has daily expiring options. There's also S&P (ES), NASDAQ (NQ)

> Birds are among the more ritualized mating animals we know, aren't they? Definitely. I'd say they're up there with us humans with all the crazy rituals they go through when courting a mate

Wow, I never heard anything about this before and I love reading about Roman history. Humans don't really change much, do they? Any additional reading you might recommend?
