Wealth = houses, cars, food etc Money = perceived wealth Stocks = perceived money

Wow! nice paper trades on TSLA guys. Don't spend all that play money at once.

Why did we stop at down 998 Dow pts? I have not heard anyone asking this question. Snowball falling should lead to bigger and bigger losses right? Was there anything stopping the market from being down 2000 or 3000 plus points? If the futs hit a limit down would that effect regular...

The govt doesnt not create the interest rates. It does not matter what their target goal is, the free market always determines the rate. We are entering a phase where banks will be bombardied with low credit but wont have anyone credit worthy to lend to. Notice how long term mortgage rates...

Some thoughts for the USD bears. I was previously very bearish on the USD, as you constantly hear about the printing press, inflation, and random fear mongering about the dollars demise. I started searching thru all these long term charts (fx, equities, bonds), and have come to the...
