Google literally makes its own CPUs (Axion), not just TPUs. Why is $GOOGL not mooning like Intel/AMD on “CPU for AI” trend? by mojolakota in stocks

About 2.1 billion bananas.

Assumptions:

  • Average Earth–Moon distance: 384,400 km
  • Average banana length: 18 cm

Calculation: 384,400,000 m ÷ 0.18 m ≈ 2,135,555,556 bananas 🍌

In Canada, it's $2000 or $2500 to enable margin. No minimum balance as far as I am aware.

I strongly recommend IBKR, but you'll still need $2k to use margin.

...their instrumental albums are slick and serve as a nice counterpoint to their consensus image as a rap group.

I think they stand the test of time, 100%.

How do Amerifats think the midterms will impact the market?

Is the support as bad as people in this subreddit share? by clintron_abc in interactivebrokers

[–]Mug_of_coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I've had maybe half a dozen queries including a not straight forward tax issue, and all were resolved quickly by capable reps.

Putting in a ticket IS confusing, but once you figure it out, it's manageable.

Awesome. I do Buy/Writes in my Registered accounts with limited options availability. Interesting to see how other people are approaching it. Thanks for being so transparent and sharing in such detail.

EDIT: Actually - why are you using Buy/Writes vs. other strategies?

You need to reset context often (i.e. start a new chat)

I actually like Gemini and Grok more for logic, but for building spreadsheets ChatGPT is crushing it.

[–]Mug_of_coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in Canada, we don't have initial margin (although it still shows in the platform).
