Things have changed since my post. You no longer need to send in physical copy of your book if you publish a paperback. Also, in the future, don't buy ISBN's if you're not going to publish a paperback. The only reason to buy an ISBN right now is to maximize profits when you publish on both KDP and Ingram using the same number. (It's free to publish paperbacks on either one, but it gets hard to manage if you use the free ISBN.)

An amazing investor and philanthropist - RIP

Has anyone here traded SPX options on IB recently, like in the past 5 years or so? If so, was your experience good/uneventful? I read about IB liquidating some legs on an SPX box spread a long time ago and am hoping that they've fixed whatever glitch they had.

FWIR, Duracell lasts a little longer than Kirkland, but the difference is so small that it makes more sense to buy Kirkland.

I've never tried them, but maybe try 301 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena or 915 E First St, LA?

Awesome-thanks!

Ugh. Yeah. When I first moved over to IB, it was cheaper and now the rates are the same.

Damn. Now I feel stupid for moving my account lol Thanks for the info!

I think Fidelity and Schwab allow spreads in IRAs.

Do you have to renew your discount with Schwab every year? They basically matched IBKR for me, but they were only willing to guarantee the rate for a year. Merrill will negotiate if you do at least 100k. It's 2-3x IBKR's rates, but better than nothing. They don't consider IBKR a competitor so you need to show a statement or offer from another brokerage.

Blumkin opened the new store because her family kicked her out of the first one. Iirc, she would bump into her employees with her wheelchair to get them moving. I never heard the smoking story before lol I like the story of Munger at the dmv. The person wanted medical records regarding his blindness. He didn't bring any, so he took out his glass eye and put it on the table.

Gah. First, they get rid of the stretch ira and now he's eyeing the step-up basis?!

It *might* be difficult to hire right now, since a ton of people are on unemployment and not many would willingly take the risk to bring the virus home to their loved ones. Just to give an example of how hard it might be - I was trying to negotiate a bill a few weeks ago and the person offered me a job.

Same. I don't have prime, so Walmart's free 2 day shipping really helps. I also feel like the products are in better shape, because Walmart doesn't have as many 3rd party sellers and they're stricter on returns. But I have to admit, even without prime, my last 2 Amazon orders have all been delivered within 2 business days (whereas it used to be 10-14 days before.)

*removed* made a mistake. He's still listed.
