Because like most people, Questrade had no idea XIV was entering a termination event. It is not their responsibility to liquidate.
Cramer had no idea what was going on during the afterhours market with XIV so for him to be preaching after the fact is as usual ripe with irony....
Seems like a decent way to bet on a rising VIX via ETFs is to short products like XIV and SVXY and maybe you'll get a termination event.
What about generating unsustainable buy orders to artificially inflate prices? Just checking.
Final thought on this topic. Spoofing is currently illegal but should be made legal as there is nothing inherently wrong with spoofing. It is an...
Certainly possible, but more likely the authorities are trying to overstep rational boundaries given past behavior.
All your posts seem to be advocating that spoofing is bad when in fact it is just another tool. An especially useful tool against algo-bots. If...
My brain is telling me that if this is just FX trading, these could possibly be classified as ordinary income and can be reported on Form A, Line...

Again, you are calling me out on details that don't make a difference to my argument. The fact is, you look at that Bear Stearns chart and the...
You must be looking at a different chart than I am. You also appear to never be able to concede on any valid points made by others when you feel...
You are caught up on the specific prices I mention instead of realizing the truth behind what I am saying. Look at this chart of Bear Sterns:...
I'm pretty sure your posts make no sense because they are mostly drivel.
Agreed, but the price was a decent indicator that you should be pulling your money from MF Global. I am not sure when MF Global stopped allowing...
The market always knows before the news becomes public. Obviously a 50% drop in a week means something is up. My "$1 price" comment was an...
