Maybe it is best to say that option expirations matter a lot in the proper time frame. The June 21 expiration doesn’t matter if you invest to retire in 10 or 20 year. June 21 expiration matters a lot to where the index will be on June 22. Ironically, the more people buy and hold and target the...
Agree it doesn’t matter to most investors. To them it’s noise, as it should be. You asked a me, specifically a question, I answered, but you are correct in that it shouldn’t matter to most.
Why is 4.5% so special a level? Particularly when the largest names that are driving this market don’t...
Good question. I'm not really sure, so Elky can jump in. I thought the charge was lying on the application? IF we look at the other question, it isn't illegal to be crazy, but is illegal to lie and say you are not crazy (over simplified to make the point, obviously). I'm not sure how closely the...
I think using is illegal (at least at Fed level?), but I have never heard of someone being charged with it. What's the point? You would grind the legal system to a halt to a larger degree than it already is. It's not semantics. It's practicality. Law enforcement tends to try to roll up people...
Oh, I most certainly do. Options expiry matters a lot. Maybe not the specific day, but the various times that lead into that day. Because options have become so popular, more of the flows are coming from market maker hedging the options exposure. As soon as options expire, the flows ramp back up...
Interesting article.It is a little hard to measure, but last time I did it about 5yrs ago there were pretty obvious new outflows out of stocks for almost a decade (yep, Boomers). That doesn't necessarily mean stocks go down, as is obvious with hindsight but was hard to explain at the time.
We...
As with most of these type questions, the details are a bit incomplete, so I have to assume some things. There is a process that should be followed, slightly different than what you described. Officially, no activity should take place until the broker is notified of the death. Then the bene can...
I understand the thinking, I just don't think it will bear out in reality. And I will reiterate what others have said for like the 5th time in this thread, Montana is already full of archery hunters in September that push the elk to private anyway. Do agree that public land rifle hunters will be...
But you are living the unintended consequences of the current structure. Why is that ok? I think we all would agree that pressure (hunter days, which is accompanied by flying lead) is the ultimate problem, but this group didn't want to live in a dream world of regarding what they could get done...
I said B, but A and B could be debated and both are solid. You just have to ask yourself if you would feel better scounting or hunting until the last minute. I wouldn't want to be constantly checking my watch on that last day. If there is a way to get the day and half scouting and the full five...
There also seems to be an argument that if no changes should be made without knowing exactly what the result will be. Life is unpredictable. Any person that is afraid of change without knowing the exact outcome and avoiding all "unintended consequences" should probably never leave their house.
Agree 100%. What you describe is the rabbit hole and the entrance is slippery . Once you place a value on something, everyone starts complaining about being treated unfairly versus another group. Any time a legislature is asked to be "more fair" the other groups complain about losing some value...
Good question on non-hunter. If you think of it in terms of a non-huntable species you will quickly spiral down the rabbit hole on this topic. The fact that elk and deer permits have monetary value is what creates the conflict. For example, for legal reasons I believe MT puts a value on a...
I concede that the economic value of an outfitter NR is higher than a non-outfitted NR. We might disagree on the difference in the value, but it is certainly higher. NR Tags are a limited resource issued by the trust. To specifically allocate tags to an outfitter pool simply allows the...
Most people just want to live and enjoy their lives. Unfortunately, it seems voting today is mostly about fear and anger on various subjects. Those two emotions are incredibly exhausting. Either people get motivated enough to vote on something and lose, or if they win they see no meaningful...
