@Mason Bee That's a good way to cut them if you want to make fine, uniform diced onions. First you cut off the bottom, but not the stem. Then you cut them in half across the stem, and then place it flat side down. Then you cut horisontally, almost, but not quite all the way through. Then you do the same vertically along the stem. Finally, you cut it like you're making slices, and the result will be extremely uniform diced onions. Of course, if you're not an idiot, you'll peel the onion first.

I don't think you can buy futures for medicine. Like, not in regards to law, I just don't think those are a thing. American inflated drug prices are a result of patent law, anticompetitive legal restrictions, a high barrier to approval by the FDA, partially socialized healthcare, insurance chicanery, foreign price controls, and some other things. I guess you could buy all the stroke medicine or something and then jack up the prices, but I don't think any third party has managed to do that. Also, unlike seasonal crops, manufactured goods will continue to be produced, so unless there is an expected spike in demand you won't really be able to control the price, and you won't make money from trying to corner the market.

The part prohibiting dealings in motion picture box office receipts was added to the law in 2010 as part of the Dodd-Frank Act. The original law only dealt with onions. From Dodd-Frank: (a) IN GENERAL.-Section 1a of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. 1a) is amended- (4) in paragraph (9) (as redesignated by paragraph (1)), by striking ‘‘except onions’’ and all that follows through the period at the end and inserting the following: ‘‘except onions (as provided by the first section of Public Law 85-839 (7 U.S.C. 13-1)) and motion picture box office receipts (or any index, measure, value, or data related to such receipts), and all services, rights, and interests (except motion picture box office receipts, or any index, measure, value or data related to such receipts) in which contracts for future delivery are presently or in the future dealt in.’’ So don't blame Ford or Cuddlebuns for that.

the market makers/liquidity providers who are the so called "SMART MONEY" are in the business of taking money from the "DUMB MONEY" (retail traders like you and I). They do so by manipulating the forex market, creating stop hunts on liquidity zones and using chart patterns to mess with our emotions. Now 95% of traders don't trade inline with the market makers or think like them, that's why they frequently lose money. The only way to be successful in this business is trading like the market makers so u can join the 5% smart money in this industry

Shorting involves borrowing stock from someone else (for a small fee), selling it, then buying it back later for a (hopefully) lower price and returning it to the original owner. I'd be interested how you can both corner the market (i.e. own all the stock) then short it (i.e. borrow the same stock)

Futures are not stocks, the futures contracts can be created/destroyed and the open interest and notional value can be greater than the supply of the underlying physical asset at settlement. This is part of the reason why crude oil futures went negative in 2020.

OMG! When I was about 12 years old, I cooked up a scheme to make a fortune in onion futures! My dad actually went so far as to stop in a brokerage, where he was told that there was no such thing as onion futures. If he had only known why! I didn't think I'd ever hear anything more about onion futures, if I'd thought about it at all!

As is the case with just about anything remotely profitable. And just was, with the gamestop stocks fiasco. A bunch of independent traders banded together and lost 'proper traders' a lot of money, to the point the government stepped in to prevent further losses. They've done it with onions, they've done it with company stocks, they'll gladly do it again if it's something that threatens the stability of the market as a whole.
