i always marvel that death/death of loved ones isn't a more common answer to this question. the span of our lives is a rounding error in a number...
i was thinking the same- re: busted trades. i imagine some of the trades i've watched has been people trying to take advantage of the mess- gotta...
not just ib, it's everywhere (well, all 3 brokerages i have accounts with). looks like the b/a are f-ed up on the boston, which is messing up all...

thank you!
sorry for what is probably a very basic question (my brain hasn't been used for much mathematics since roughly 1985). what is the equation for...

let me know if i am understanding you correctly: are you essentially saying that you support my short strangle (or straddle) premise if it is...
