It's a bit more complicated than that. The US federal system has layers upon layers of governments with federal, state, county and city, each looking to get paid through one tax or another. The system is slow and expensive, but it's meant to be representative. The alternative is a break up...

The Chinese are invading...any minute!

Really? They can be so full of s***

Please explain, I don't know what that means.

I use RSI and other tech indicators because they look really cool on my screen and make me look seriously in the know (my wife laughs, my teen doesn't care).

The only shortages that I'm aware of tend to run out of a store in group to a waiting car outside...

Another way of figuring out what makes most sense is to get the names of a dozen well known data scientists and find out what education they have. I'd even reach out to several and ask them what makes more sense. Heck, you might end up with a job in the process, if that's what you're looking...

It takes money to make money, and today it's nearly all in fintech, where early investors in start ups in the 2k's are today's multi millionaires and billionaires. Hundreds of start ups founders and top employees have created thousands of millionaires and thousands of early investors have...

I've done well with BABA last year but moved on when it started it slow descent, which it hasn't recovered from. Its 1 step forward, 2 steps back stock price is tedious and, with the Chinese government showing how it controls all, I wouldn't want my investment to depend on their whims. There...

I personally have more of an issue with the manufactured spin than the off the cuff bs. I'm more forgiving of the guy who steals a car for a joy ride than I am towards an enterprise of car thieves who send them to a 3rd country to be "cleaned" and shipped back as near new. Hill & Knowlton for...

Exactly. And that's not to say it won't be back at 85 next week, but that bs association with FB is pure paid media spin.

Talk about creating a media narrative of zero substance.

I'm on record for feeling really sorry for AMZN stockholders after today's once again plunge. I say it with all humility because I have been there and have since walked away from an otherwise stellar company. I'm a huge fan, but the stock? A bad financial analogy to the Caligula scene.. yes...

Breathe, it's going to be OK.... your savy white supremacist hero sure showed them what America is made of! Wait, where did he go?!?..lol You are right, no one can control China today! (seriously, do you read yourself sometimes?) And yes, it has all that military power to make sure that never...

Yes, that would be a good reason, a short against a long.

Right, as long as you have 2 different accounts you can do anything. But if you use a single account, hold 100 shares long and get caught in a steep reverse, there is no mechanism to short that same stock without first having to exit the long at a loss because those shares are in your portfolio...

I didn't realize I was going to open a can of legal worms with my question which was primarily technical and not well presented. Your example of aapl is was I wanted to do, but couldn't figure out if and how to do it in TOS. Once in a long or short position, there's no way to enter with an...

Let say I buy to enter but the momentum reverses. My options are to hold and wait for the shares to reverse long or sell to exit and take a loss. I was wondering if there was a way to sell to enter with new shares while maintaining my existing long position....but clearly that's not possible...

I'm referring to stocks, not options or derivatives. @mervyn answered the question. I was expecting that answer... 2 accounts, one for long trades and the other for shorts...

Right, that's what I thought, thanks.
