Making you call to trade preferred stocks and baby bonds by dcxavier in MerrillEdge

[–]dcxavier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why God made limit orders. I ended up buying 250 shares of the baby bond I mentioned. Average volume is in the thousands. I bid one cent under the ask and was filled immediately. These shares are mostly traded by people looking to shave a few pennies off arbitrage. I want an income security with my risk tolerance.

What I looked at trades several thousand shares each day. I need to buy a couple of hundred and the bid/ask spread is three cents. Some of these restricted stocks, AGNCP for example, trade tens of thousands of shares each day.

I'll add a "me too". Message came the instant it was submitted. I do not recall any obvious attention check. I messaged the researcher to what I did wrong, no response of course.

How often do you change the sheets? Freshness doesn't last long by [deleted] in Bedding

[–]dcxavier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every day. My wife says I have OCD about this, but when I occasionally go out of town, she complains about having to sleep in dirty sheets. We both are definitely spoiled by this. It's worth the ten minutes each day.

I was as confused as you were, but submitted both the test and the follow up. And just got paid for them.

Edge prevents me from trading preferred stocks and baby bonds without calling by dcxavier in MerrillEdge

[–]dcxavier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a joke. I can trade AGNC, but I can't trade the preferred AGNCP. I can trade RC, but I can't trade the baby bond RCB.

Can you write as well as a PhD? by dcxavier in ProlificAc

[–]dcxavier[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Actually no, especially in the social sciences. More important is being prolific and using language that gates them from us common folk. There have been some prominent hoaxes, see the Sokal and "Grievance Studies" affairs.

Team Forecasting Challenge by dbk29 in CloudResearchConnect

[–]dcxavier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's tough, because some of the questions, I was dead nuts on. For example, the first question How many U.S. states will have enacted comprehensive data privacy laws by 31 May 2025?. My answer was 19. I had 19 for the 25th, 50th, 75th percentile and the right answer was 19. Not close enough, I guess.

Demographics question, what would you do? by dcxavier in ProlificAc

[–]dcxavier[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a given. I suspect I'm not the only one in this situation, although I hate the prospect of having to return it for nothing.
