      Yes, some of your best profits will come where you didn't understand something.

      Worst losses too.       Sep 21 01:18 AM
    • Preserving U.S. Economy Over Free Markets (Short Sellers) [view article]
      Another point, I believe the reasoning that short selling is required to find a fair price is vastly overrated.

      You could limit any short selling in financials to licensed market makers to retain market liquidity. That being for the amount of time it took to quiet the market.

      Taking the uninhibited short (puts are not quite the same power) away from hedge funds and whoever is causing this panicked, PRICE INSENSITIVE selling would be a smart move.

      Shorts are not NATURAL sellers.       Sep 20 09:31 PM

    • Bank of America / Merrill: Shotgun Marriage [view article]
      Here's hoping that a few shorts get put out of business by this absurd deal. I doubt it though Sep 15 12:42 AM

      Only an idiot would be overpaying for metals.

      Let them keep it until the price reflects reality.

      IBKR, nothing like being right for the wrong reasons. Jul 25 02:27 PM
    • Brokerage Stocks: Trouble on the Horizon? [view article]
      You need to do some more work on IBKR, they make more than 'some' money from prop trading. THEY ARE MARKET MAKERS WORLDWIDE.

      Lumping them in with the others is poor workmanship.

      They may or may not beat, but it has little to do with retail clients.       Jul 07 11:19 AM
