Not if you use options. Let’s say you short a stock that is priced at $100 and you want to limit your upside risk. You can buy a call option that gives you the right but not the obligation to purchase a stock at a specific price. One call o

That’s extremely easy for Ferrari to do, here is how it works: “Hey, it’s your friendly Ferrari dealer. About your position on the list for an F80… we’re going to need you to buy a Luce to maintain your position and ensure you are eligible

When you short a stock, you borrow shares from someone who is holding that stock and their broker gets money for lending the shares and sometimes the holder of the shares lent out gets money. You sell the shares, probably to a market maker.

They need to fire whoever is running AP and AP software development. Vibe invoicing is ridiculous for anyone to do, let alone Amazon.

There’s around five trillion dollars indexed to the S&P 500 in large funds. QQQ is half a trillion dollars. If you look at Fidelity mutual funds, the difference is even greater. FXAIX has $827B in it, USNQX has $9.6B in it. The absolute

Volatility should be lower with more market participants. More participants means that more information can theoretically be priced in. Producers that use commodity futures to lock in a sale price need a buyer or speculator to take the ot

Gambling is placing a wager with a negative expected value. If you can gain an edge and have positive EV, it’s not gambling. That’s the distinction between poker and slots. A skilled poker player can take advantage of positive EV positions

There’s an order of magnitude more money indexed to the S&P 500, you have to go out out your way to buy QQQ since NASDAQ 100 and total market funds are uncommon in 401K options for employees. QQQ is more volatile and higher risk than th

They don’t meet the inclusion criteria. The committee went through the motions to be diplomatic, not because there was ever a chance of it happening.

No, they don’t. I’d be surprised if Oracle has more than a few hundred thousand customers. $500 a month does not let the largest department in Oracle (Legal) flex their muscles. Oracle is a law firm that sells software licenses so their law

To be fair, the use of TFR had approximately zero context to clue that person in to what it could mean. If you go back and read the first paragraph, there is no mention of children, birth, babies, or any other context clues that help the re

Not if the goal is to get you into a sales funnel with a sales exec to juice the contract value. Oracle doesn’t give a single shit about someone spending $500/month

Options market makers have no idea where the S&P will be in one year, options are priced on the current implied volatility. The bid and ask will be slightly lower and higher than the true current option price so the MM can make their nu

(650/1000)(24*30)=468 kWh. That would cost me about $70/month ($0.15/kWh) or someone in California about $234/month ($0.50/kWh). Do you pay $1/kWh and make ~$1500/month or something? I can’t make the math
