Most US banks wouldn't touch him I think, that's why he's got (had) such a reliance of Deutsche Bank (or similar) for borrowing.
Pretty sure he also went bankrupt and was bailed out by the family fortune.

A bit of a side note, but given the board seems to have some seasoned investors...
What would you class as 'reasonable' for an out of hours fill or kill order to be processed in once the market opens?
Not on this share, but I'm having a bit of a moan at Hargreaves Lansdowne, Monday morning had a fill or kill live, price opened a bit below my sell price, figured it would process soon enough and I could still exit my position up. It took 45 minutes to clear in the end, by the time i got to it instead of 5% up (for the first 20-25mins trading) I was 30% down.
Some lessons learned;
Ring them if the app is not playing ball (I was trying to manage 2 young kids through dressing/ breakfast at the time, so was crossing fingers the order would fail/release on the app)
Don't bother with a fill or kill - the only reason I did was kids (see above!) but unless you've got multiple shares you're trying to shift early doors, if you can check in at open just do that...
I believe the point of the bed&ISA is that you can transfer your whole ISA to a new provider without impacting your current year allowance - otherwise you'd be stuck with one provider.
I'd also assume that you can transfer the stock itself, otherwise it would just build risk into the process and harm the end user...
I had a little ironic chuckle at that also. Probably just Google news filtering to my interests though, so not sure if Nasdaq list news like that for everyone that gets listed on otcqx?
The CME options expiry is always the last Friday of each month I think, so the 29th Jan
I've started noticing this a bit more recently, was wondering if soon there might be some way of maximising returns using knowledge from the future
Thanks for the response Tea - that was a term I was going to throw in there, but wasn't 100% confident in the usage! I guess if there's not a short term 'flipping' opportunity it becomes less appealing unless you have deeeep pockets to ride out unexpected volatility.
Side note, I find myself more often these days asking questions I could probably Google, mainly to engage with other people rather than get lost in a rabbit hole of googling prosaic terms and scenarios!
I've wondered why the US/London prices don't align, at least during overlapping trading hours.
Especially if it's the same pot of shares as someone has suggested.
Just seems odd as you could in theory own the same shares, if you can move between markets (no idea, absolute novice on that front) and still make money even after transfer fees or currency exchange etc.
That was also touched on in that CryptosRus video - apparently one of the exchanges (or whatever Gemini technically are) is being used for two big ETFs or similar that have bought into BTC, so it was likely to be a move of funds rather than transfers to sell.
I'm a bit green in terms of dual listings etc, someone suggested a minute ago that once it hits the Nasdaq ARB should quit the LSE - how would that actually work? Shares converted over? Just given your money back and "thanks for coming"?!
Not that I think it's a sensible or likely route, just wondering about the mechanics of listing/de-listing with multiple exchanges in play
I think that inflexion point implies the breakdown of fiat currency, which I suspect would not be overnight - so either the exchanges (LSE etc) would be moving towards representing the De-Fi currency du hour, or at the very least you'd be seeing mass inflation in £/$ creeping in. But you've got to be HODLing big time on your stocks/shares to not have cashed out as the fiat currency starts to wane and crypto is widely adopted.
My biggest concern with btc (holder here and with some btc) is the impact of the whales. The way the currency has grown it's given very (fiat) rich individuals the ability to buy bucket loads of btc pretty cheap, so they will ultimately end up controlling the market - want to tank someone's business? Dump some coin on the market before their year end results. We've basically got hedge funds in individuals, with the power to move the price as suits them due to the volume they hold.
Open to discussion on that, my very limited view on it, but I'm not sure that the very long game is and how it can be the De-Fi that people want it to be
I'm not actually reading anything into it, but that hooky video of the Liam Gallagher gig has been DMCA'd now, with it being requested by Warner Media. I assume they're LGs label but must admit I haven't gone to the effort of digging into it.
Just thought it interesting that it might ultimately be on the labels to enforce rather than MVR
Also looks like there were free tickets given out to NHS workers, and the gig was about £18 (with more expensive VIP options available).
How that translates into actual ticket purchases is anyone's guess.
Thought I'd have a look for comments on the boy George concert, on their promo post on Facebook it had the usual raft of "it keeps buffering", "code won't work *angry face*", "how much? I'd pay £5 but not £18" etc.
Mixed in amongst positive views naturally.
Just interesting to see the same tech/price related comments playing out whoever provides the tech.
I can't think of a comparable event to look for from the 'big boys', but I'd bet you'd find much of the same chat for anything streamed by Facebook/YouTube/Amazon/Apple, it's so reliant on the users connection and competency

@BrownAdder just if you're interested in the general modes of transport in Astana :)
@TS definitely, whilst you or I might be comfortable hooking up a laptop, anything beyond point and click is a step to far for a large number of people. Just the way it is I guess, my wife would be having none of needing to set up a laptop to watch something (theatre?), but will happily stream Hamilton from [Netflix? Prime? Can't recall where].
Remove the barriers to entry and it will only increase the appeal, especially if you can give more immersive experiences to those who have the tech/desire to see them
Per the RNS "new app available on... Smart TVs, consoles".
I feel like this definitely fills a gap that's been missing, opens up to more mass market appeal - i.e. beyond the niche VR headsets and sub-optimal tablet/mobile viewing.
VR is growing, but not at a speed that would generate masses of revenue soon, being available on TV (without having to plug in laptops etc) opens up the mainstream audience.
Forgive my ignorance, who/what is LMG? I can't work out the acronym!
I mean, I think that's how charts work... Lots of people download for something like, I don't know, a Liam Gallagher gig, app goes up.
Lots of people don't need to download the app for something like a Liam Gallagher gig, app goes down.
Odd, don't think the guardian is behind a paywall? I've never signed up for anything?!
