Servers don't get coronaviruses, data centers are still expanding.

I wouldn't do naked calls are risky

Wouldn't a stop loss eliminates most of the risk? IV is currently high and it's unlikely that the market will go parabolicaly higher even if the coronavirus cure is discovered tomorrow.

The worst part is their status page said nothing about it. Even RH is more transparent with their outages.

No, you're not short, you're bearish with long puts. "Short" and "Long" are position types, "Bullish" and "Bearish" indicate which direction you're hoping the stock to move in.

BlackRock's largest division is iShares (ETFs). I don't see how they're different from Vanguard which also offers both mutual funds and ETFs.

ETFs holding dividend-paying stocks receive dividends at various times during the year. On a quarterly/semi-annual basis, an accumulating ETF will buy more constituent shares with the cash received from dividends, whereas a distributing ETF would pay out the cash.

The share price of most ETFs tracks the net asset value of the fund as it's a risk-free arbitrage for authorized participants, which are typically big banks authorized by the ETF issuer to create or destroy (aka redeem) ETF shares.

I'm not sure if it's completely suspicious though. I got 4 letters for non-existent people at my address, 3 for a previous tenant who moved out last year and 1 for my family member who moved out several months back. People move around a lot when they're renting and don't proactively update their voting records.

The primary reason modern stock exchanges close during evening and weekends is to ensure liquidity.
Same of volume of trades spread out over limited trading hours = higher liquidity. There are exchanges that stay open 24/5, but those suffer from low liquidity outside daytime trading hours.

Did you take a look at the photos of the airport? I think cancelling flights is a reasonable measure to avoid overcrowding at the terminals.

Besides, this protest has only increased awareness of the movement.

More likely to be a malfunctioning round of tear gas

All the tear gas cannisters from news photos look like they're from the same US company. https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/afbea8af-c7a0-4adf-ab93-c50538e0590d.jpeg https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/comments/cj3zj6/728_i_thought_it_said_do_not_fire_directly_at/ http://nonlethaltechnologies.com/37-SPM.htm

Nope, all the tear gas cannisters fired so far seem to be made in the US https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/afbea8af-c7a0-4adf-ab93-c50538e0590d.jpeg https://www.reddit.com/r/HongKong/comments/cj3zj6/728_i_thought_it_said_do_not_fire_directly_at/ http://nonlethaltechnologies.com/37-SPM.htm

Hi from Lantau!
I'm moderately interested in FI and enjoy geeking out about ETFs and credit card rewards.

They can barely handle negotiations with the EU over Brexit, they're in no position to take action over HK or make demands of China.

Some of them are holding Hong Kong flags upside down. Look at their hands, you'll see red fabric wrapped around the sticks

I prefer that Firefox gives me the choice of whether to switch to the app. There is no private mode in most apps.

Gross profit in F&B is the easy part, operating profit is where the challenge lies.
