    Did Robert Hoffman really lose 312K in a single TF trade? Yikes!

    Nope it wasn't. you're talking out you're ass. Unless you went on a trial or was in the room paid for, you would not have known he was martingaling and targeting 1-2 ticks. None of his videos in 2009-2010 talk about martingaling or tick targets. Could you have surmised he was a snake oil...

    Republican Mainstream Flirts with Brief US Default

    No they didn't. QE1 and QE2 was added to the debt ceiling. USA has never "simply printed money" That said, republicans will heighten the debt ceiling. It is inevitable.

    Debt Ceiling and Default

    We already have your system in place. Abuse is prone to happen because of how politics work. Both parties are keynesian in nature, but not truly Keynesian since they dont or are unable to create higher taxes in times of growth. Since your system and our current system is the same, I don't see...

    Debt Ceiling and Default

    the coming depression is already bigger than 1930´s. It is inevitable. When the true effects of the depression hit, these liabilities will simply void. Overnight pensions, medicare and other will be cut 50% or simply dissolved. You are thinking up a scenario where there is still reason. But...
