    Michael Bloomberg Commencement Address At Rice University, May 12, 2018

    Yes, Bloomberg does come off as more genuine and trustworthy compared to Trump. Certainly less self-agrandizing and confrontational than Trump. IMO the Bloomberg “Nanny-in-Chief” approach is overbearing and rubbed many folks the wrong way.

    Manafort Dismissal? Judge rips Mueller and investigation

    1. CNN asked Mueller to comment on the matter and he declined. He certainly could have refuted or denied saying that to Trump’s lawyers - but he didn’t. 2. This particular DOJ policy will not change under the current administration. The Attorney General’s signed approval is required for...

    Manafort Dismissal? Judge rips Mueller and investigation

    Oh I think this adds a great deal of clarity for Trump’s legal team: answer no questions, do not sit for an interview. Dershowitz was right all along.

    Mueller admits: Can’t Indict a Sitting President

    This is from what I can dig up - I’m certainly no expert. I just read a Georgetown Law white paper on this. DOJ policy is very clear about this; a number of Constitutional scholars agree but some do not. The protocol is: impeachment must precede criminal indictment and prosecution. In lieu...

    Manafort Dismissal? Judge rips Mueller and investigation

    If all Mueller gets out of this is an indictment of Manafort and Cohen for tax evasion and money laundering and the financial ruin of General Michael Flynn - in the public's eye that would be an abject failure.

    Predictably, trump helping Chinese company to score a win in n. Korea

    There's a few different ways to view this. If you harbor a confirmation bias against Trump, then you see this as a Trump cave or some sort of conspiratorial collusion with the Chinese. Alternatively, others might view this as Trump finding a very sensitive Chinese pressure point (which ZTE...

    Pennsylvania primary results show surprising Trump strength. Take heart, GOP!

    I have no faith in polling data. Especially a media outlet sponsored poll. Many Americans work hard and are not politicos or DC civics nerds. They've lost faith in the media, the American two party system, and they will lie to a pollster if they bother even responding.

    The "mentor"

    Totally dead nuts on. There is no one "superior" or correct way to trade markets. One of the upsides for me in terms of doing client work is actually seeing clients use your system in ways you hadn't considered before. I have a former client who just prints money trading LME Gold...

    The "mentor"

    This is just my own experience - I am offering no advice or comparisons for others. I traded on the floor as an independent, commercial energy, prop financials and energy, and for a HF over a period of thirteen years - all out of office buildings in Chicago. I had also been a steady and...
