Constant Phoenix Cap#3
The aircraft is a modified C-135B or EC-135C platform. The Constant Phoenix's modifications are primarily related to its on-board atmospheric collection suite, which allows the mission crew to detect radioactive "clouds" in real time. The aircraft is equipped with external flow-through devices to collect particulates on filter paper and a compressor system for whole air samples collected in holding spheres. The cockpit crew is from the 45th Reconnaissance Squadron at Offutt Air Force Base, Neb., '''

International Investment Bank to relocate headquarters from Budapest back to Russia
Russia's International Investment Bank (IIB) will relocate its headquarters from Budapest back to Russia, according to a statement published on the bank's website on Wednesday. The decision was announced a week after the United States imposed sanctions on three top officials of IIB in Budapest: two Russians and a Hungarian. That move led to Hungary's announcement that it was withdrawing its representatives from the bank and quitting the financial institution.

Summary-It's just am AI-based coin layering over the existing system and not doing anything else as you'd basically destroy the other parts of the FIAT pyramid (while trying to keep the whole shit pile 'alive') but it won't do anything except provide the illusion of safety (for them)

Day Traders Lose $358,000 Per Day Gambling on Zero-Day Options (0DTE)
Day traders are paying a price for their newfound love affair with one of the hottest trades in the equity market.
Rushing to join the trading frenzy in options with ultra-short lifespans, known as 0DTE for zero-days to expiration, small-time investors find themselves struggling to make it work. A fresh study from researchers at the University of Muenster in Germany shows the crowd may have lost $358,000 a day since May 2022, when it became possible to trade expiring contracts every day. The record is alarming, but probably not a huge surprise. By one estimate, amateur investors took a billion-dollar bath dabbling in stock options during the pandemic boom. The new game of 0DTE is more challenging in many ways, among them the tight time frame in which wagers need to work out. The paper, titled Retail Traders Love 0DTE Options… But Should They?, is a reminder to investors and regulators alike that the latest investment innovations may not always be suitable for everyone.
(On the retail level these are just a harvesting mechanism as very few even understand what the term 'implied volatility' means-but I bet a ton of them looked it up after buying calls on JP Moran last Thursday (waiting for the Friday earnings release) and then lost money on them even with it's biggest up day in many years…the death of most retail traders comes when that "Enable Options Trading" button is pushed on the Robinhood (and other plattys) and then enabled-plenty of examples of that all over the 'net with peeps losing an ass-ton of $ after they think they know how)
“We are seeing the study as a cautionary tale,” Heiner Beckmeyer, who co-authored the study along with Nicole Branger and Leander Gayda, said in an interview. “These 0DTE options have huge leverage. They’re a one-or-zero bet, so you have the opportunity to make a lot of money, but you also have the opportunity to lose a lot. And that’s what we find in the paper that on average, it seems to be to the detriment of these retail investors.” Zero-day options first garnered mainstream attention when retail investors embraced them as a cheap way of gambling during the meme-stock era in 2021. While the current craze involves indexes like the S&P 500 and has been driven by professional traders, 0DTE’s high-risk, high-reward potential — and potentially quick payoff — appeals profoundly to amateurs too.
By the researchers’ estimate, the retail crowd’s market share in 0DTE trading volume has expanded, topping 6% in 2022 versus 4% in the prior year. Among all of the cohort’s trades in S&P 500 options, such flashy contracts make up more than 75% of the total-(it was at about 60% last time I looked so certainly increasing) For all the engagement, however, the wagers largely failed to pay off. While they did fairly well writing options, decisions to buy them suffered badly. All told, day traders lost $20 million as a result of poor positioning in about two years through February 2023. The bill climbed to more than $70 million when the cost of doing business with market makers was factored in. To be sure, it’s not easy to make money in a new instrument that even Wall Street pros don’t seem to fully understand. To have an edge, one has to be extremely vigilant and nimble — and probably lucky. A JPMorgan Chase & Co. analysis showed that while buying or selling 0DTE options tended to be profitable in the first 10 minutes of trading, two-thirds of the gains came in the first minute.
In the study by the University of Muenster researchers, they tracked all 0DTE transactions that were identified as being initiated by retail, netted them out as orders came in, and tallied a return at the end of each day. They found the day-trader army has lost money on a net basis every month since Cboe Global Markets Inc. added Tuesday and Thursday expiration options for the S&P 500, expanding existing products to cover each weekday. “Their hunger for lottery-like assets leads to large aggregate losses,” the researchers wrote in the paper. “Should daily expirations be rolled out for single equity options, the potential losses retail investors face are amplified manifold.” CBOE didn’t respond to a request for comment.
