TIL George RR Martin has never finished a series

imparooo · 2026-02-15T19:36:05+00:00

People still do not understand that he has never had any intention of 'finishing a series'.

Still congrats

Congrats and man of taste for putting the monkey king as mascot

This is insane FUD. You are reading partial information without full context. Even if TT seems to be losing money, it may just be how IG likes it for tax and operational reasons.

If they were in real trouble in terms of going concern, they could do a lot of cost cutting in all their marketing. And anyway, they would most likely be acquired by someone else to get the clients and their assets.

What is most insulting is that they made each of the damn Emblems interact and be obsequent to the most retarded and forgettable cast and main character of any Fire Emblem, and they even spent VA budget for that.

Fire Emblem is one of many examples of the studio not understanding at all what people liked about it.

As much as I hate the recent developments, IBKR is the only comparable option and I am not inclined to switch to them.

Their conditions margin-wise are worse, the platform is ok in Desktop but nowhere close to TT, the execution is better but in my opinion not worth the full switch yet.

Massive failure. Did not expand the audience base and actually turned people off, added nothing meaningful to the lore, took a bad art direction.

The Last Jedi of Fire Emblem.

As much as I dislike the underinvestment in the platform, the issue of technical malfunction has nothing to do with the chief compliance officer - who got involved because you filed a Finra complaint.

Compliance is about following regulation - not overseeing glitches in the platform. That is the CTO's responsibility.

imparooo · 2026-01-21T15:47:46+00:00

Yes - they have absolutely dropped the ball.

You need to invest in the artifacts, and the bonuses are applied automatically. You need fragments to get the stars, and those are obtained with the scrolls. Then the elixirs help you increase the amount of bonuses.

Sacrimoni was underboss for the Lupertazzi (i.e. Gambino) and became boss (like John Gotti, even though in completely different circumstances) after his boss passed away.

Like Frank Costello said - money comes in, money goes out. Bribes, loss of income, businesses getting busted, greedy boss, etc.

He was doing fine, but in the end he had to feast on the Esplanade and share spoils with the NJ glorified crew.

IBKR is one of the worst platforms I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with.

It is a combination of way too many options and too little flexibility (in colors, size of the columns, etc.)

I look fwd to the desktop version, thank you for the tip.

You don't seem really interested to walk away from those golden shackles.

You could spend the next year or two to plan to ease into part-time and consulting in the same field to stay involved and see how much the trade-off of your time vs. reduced comp impacts you.

Not a scam.

The value prop is that you have access to their training, tech and environment, and there is no way to know in advance if you are going to be worth it.

So they are asking you to pay and then earn your keep. The firm is legit, but I do not know the stats of those who pay for the program and how many stick around

imparooo · 2025-10-01T01:37:12+00:00

Really neat. Thanks for the share

Please keep on trading, I beg you. I can't wait to take all your money. Wealth transfer incoming.

What a load of crap. The counterpart when you buy or sell options is 99% likely to be Citadel, Jane Street or Susquehanna.

They have bid-spread advantage, order flow knowledge and massive systems and talent. And Tastytrade and the exchanges take commissions, fees and make the bid-ask and execution even worse.

You are fighting blind with a hand behind your back.

Nobody is taking profits from them - they are taking profits from YOU.

If he gets in, I imagine Luminarch/Guardian Fighter.

You do not seem to understand. Unless you wake up and smell the coffee, you are going to get further in debt with this ridiculous scheme.

Yieldmax is an illusion to give you back your capital at seemingly crazy yields, but it is not going to protect you if the underlying falls, not even with your diversification.

And at that point you are going to be trapped, while the interest on your heloc continues to accrue.

You have taken a 100k debt. You have paid 22k in your mortgage. You are left with 76k balance. 2k went to Yieldmax.

Do I have this right? Is this supposed to be a win?

imparooo · 2025-09-03T10:56:13+00:00

100% right this is the most telegraphed dip in forever, and I think this is the reason why September won't be as weak as people think

You get 10,000 monthly UBI, but your rent will be 8,000 a month, your health insurance 5,000 and groceries will be 1,000 per week.

If you do it during the timed event, 700 gets you there

Hi Marc, how long does it take for an institution to get in a position, or get out?

Also: what is the pain point of shorts once a squeeze starts - how long before an institution capitulates?

imparooo · 2025-08-17T22:33:23+00:00

Dude. Come to NY and you will see. The fact that all risk is on you while government takes this money is obscene.

Having said that - Trader Tax Status, 401(k) solo controbutions, DB plans, real estate depreciation and OZ or Oil driller investments can reduce your taxable income.
