Chinese Media Warns US Social Division Shows "Western Democracy Is Crumbling"
Well known government mouthpiece, The China Global Times, published an op-ed overnight that was shockingly frank about the state of America (in their eyes) and did little to confirm President Trump’s opinion that he and Premier Xi are best-buddies…

IB auto-liquidation
Going into the close this afternoon, I was short a May 930/960 call spread in AMZN. When I logged in near the close to close the position, I discovered that the position had already been closed for $30.55 (likely at the natural?). I’m not fussed about the auto-liquidation itself as my long leg was at risk of being pinned, but surely this could have been closed for $30.00 or even $30.01.
It’s only $0.55 but do I have a valid beef?

SMA number seems wrong at IB
I know I should ask this at IB, but I got tired of waiting in the chat queue this morning and the help here has been great in the past.
I have about $115k in an account, no positions/all cash, and it shows my SMA at around $450. Yes, four hundred and fifty dollars. Only one trade over the last 48 hrs, a round trip on a single CL contract (closed slightly in the green).
Does it make any sense for my SMA to be that low? Is there a way I can see my SMA from prior days? It doesn’t make sense…

VXX and buy put
Hello,
I wonder about if you would buy 1 PUT on VXX (18 JAN 2019) with 610 days to go.
As VXX is going down and we assume that this happens until 2019.
What is the risks in this. For example if we buy 1 PUT today with VXX at: 15.74
and the VXX does a reverse Split 4 to 1 in a few days, so the price of VXX is about 60.00.
What happens in this case to the PUT, how will the PUT be valued and are there any other risks with holding the original PUT?

Journalists Drink Too Much, Are Dumber Than Average, Study Finds
A recent scientific study just proved something that viewers of CNN have probably suspected for years: Journalists’ brains function at a lower level than the rest of the population.
A study conducted by neuroscientist Tara Swift and the London Press Club determined that “the highest functions of journalists brains were operating at a lower level than the average population, due to dehydration, self-medicating, and fueling their brains with caffeine and high-sugar foods”
