'You are getting exactly that' - sounds like Bordeaux is one specific thing. You can get shit Saint-Émilion, even within the same appellation.

Exactly in the same boat. Did a thorough research of the entire market, and pixel 6 seemed like the least problematic choice - so I got it three weeks ago.

Are you happy with the p6 so far?

This is hardly a whitespace issue

No. The ETF holdings are masked behind the provider of the ETF. SO in your case, the holdings remain unchanged.

Re:The Volfefe Index on Wednesday September 11, 2019 @03:47AM (#20937542)
So this article is only describing the fact that JPM constructed an index that shows how tweets affect the US rates markets. The index is not tradeable afaik.

One of the markers JPM uses is likes and retweets, so I don't even think this is calculated with low latency.

Hull's Options futures and derivatives is the 101 for most things finance. Its a good place to start.

so you prototyped in pandas, and build production code around numpy arrays?

Re:Show HN: Is the stock market going to crash? on Monday August 07, 2017 @11:11AM (#14948052)
There's really no reason why GDP should equal market cap. Companies are largely (especially now, since interest is so low) valued on future income, rather than current income.

Look at Amazon and Netflix, both tradin at 200x earnings. This is beacuse investors think they will earn a lot more in the future than they do now. Are they overvalued? who knows.

Re:Show HN: Is the stock market going to crash? on Monday August 07, 2017 @11:05AM (#14947996)
It not really an easy thing to do, but value weighted price/earning would probably be the most common way to do it.
Re:Vanguard Is Growing Faster Than Everybody Else Combined on Wednesday April 19, 2017 @02:34AM (#14145926)
Authorized participants (APs) exist for all ETFs. their purpose is to make sure that the ETF mirrors the underlying assets, and to provide liquidity.

Consider a ETF that consists of a single stock. IF the stock drops, the AP will lower its Bid/offer spread, and force the ETF down to the same level as the stock. But as this is a reaction to the stock falling, there is going to be a lag between the stock falling, and the ETF falling. This doesn't mean that you can sell the ETF at a higher price, necessarily.

Re:Vanguard Is Growing Faster Than Everybody Else Combined on Wednesday April 19, 2017 @02:28AM (#14145905)
Almost.

When you buy an ETF, you don't buy a newly issued cupon. You buy it from another market participant on an exchange - hence Exchange traded fund. What you're describing is closer to classic mutual fund. Each ETF will have "Authorized Participants" who make sure that the ETF mirrors the underlying assets.

What do you mean?

Finance allows companies to do IPO's, raising money to fund growth and employing people.
